N. Orleans school funds missing

[dArKeR]

THE NEW ORLEANS French Quarter is a fantasy world where tourists savor the jazz and jambalaya of the “Big Easy.”
But just a few miles away is reality for students at Booker T. Washington High School — peeling paint, exposed wiring and ceilings falling in. Even the new principal wonders why students keep showing up.
According to Principal Nolan McSwain, “We all talk about, ‘It’s about the kids,’ but when you get down here to where the rubber meets the road, it makes you wonder sometime — is it really about the kids?”
For years the Orleans Parish school district denied requests to renovate, despite annual budgets of more than half a billion dollars — including $37 million from federal taxes.
Now an audit of district finances shows there was plenty of money, but in the kind of scandal the city is famous for, it was misappropriated — possibly stolen in amounts shocking even here.
