Eric Becoats, Durham Public Schools Superintendent has resigned. His last day will be December 31, 2013. Too many problems for him to stay. Let's recap. First there was using the activity bus to haul his family to the mall. Really? Sadly, really. Second there was using the school system credit card for personal expenses. Latest and worst, was the miscalculation of the funds budget. Becoats told the board and the board told the county commissioners we only had $4.0 million in the reserve fund after all expenditures for the fiscal year. An audit revealed we had $15.0 million! OOPS!!!!
A guy who is supposed to be a financial genius can't miss by 275% and keep his job. Well done Heidi Carter and the rest of the board. Now, lets organize a good search and bring in a Superintendent who is worthy.
