Let’s discuss LEA = Local Education Agency. This is the entity within the EVSC responsible for utilizing the $85 Million in distributing ESSER funds throughout the schools. Interestingly the address of 2150 Stringtown, as displayed on the website, is located within the Butcher Shoppe on Stringtown. There are offices behind this privately held building, housing your favorite meat shop. Now, perhaps the address should be the old North High School, a block away, but the documents reflect a private office in the meat shoppe; Perhaps a FOIA to see the lease agreement between EVSC and the landlord? 🤔 Wonder if they get a discount on meat too? Lol. The VANDERBURGH Assessor’s website shows the building and office space being owned by WAH, LLC. The next series of posts will provide information on the “LEA” and the coordinating of using the ESSER funds.
