Capital School Referendum

Just two words to describe Capital School District's fiscal responsibility... Alfreda Dean. Through mismanagement of tax dollars, Capital allowed this overpaid secretary to use our money for her personal benefit. She was found guilty of stealing "only" $6300, and given a years probation. Just a misdemeanor for stealing our tax dollars. I wonder how much more she took without being caught. And Why Are We Paying a Capital Secretary $40,000 per year?

While Ms Dean's actions are despicable, Capital should never have allowed this to happen. They were warned by the State that their system was not working, but I don't think that they worried about it very much at all. All they need to do is to raise our taxes. Stop giving Capital a blank check.

Of course they claim that its for the children, after all... who would vote against children... but the Alfreda Dean attitude by the Capital Taxhogs indicates mismanagement and greed. Capitals irresponsible money management and over-paid administrative staff is significant proof that the districts need to be combined to save tax dollars.

Taxpayers must hold Capital School District accountable because they have already proven they cannot be trusted. And don't forget that Kent County tax reassessment on the horizon.

Capital School's high-paid thief slapped on wrist

They cry for more money, but..... Alfreda Dean, the Dover High School Secretary that took $6,300 from the school's activity funds had her wrist slapped earlier this week. Ms Dean, who made nearly $40,000 a year as a secretary at the school, will have to spend the next year on probation, and she's been told to pay back the money she stole. She accepted the misdemeanor charge, no doubt with a joyful heart and a faux tear in her eye. To my way of thinking, that "punishment" is not nearly enough for betraying the public trust. Mr. Biden, please take note.

Hey Capital School District, $40,000 for a school secretary .... have you hired a replacement yet? I can type pretty good. I vote too.
Thank you State Auditor Tom Wagner for doing what the School Superintendant, Dr. Michael D. Thomas didn't have sense enough to do. You advised the District that there were problems long before Ms. Dean was charged, and Dr. Thomas, you and all of your staff should be ashamed that you allowed this to go on for as long as it did.
