Only in the Dallas Independent School District: we're under federal investigation for misappropriation of funds, we're reeling from a more recent but related scandal uncovered by the Dallas Morning News involving the lack of supervision of district credit cards (called procurement cards or p-cards), so what are we going to do? How about a three hour district-wide pep rally for teachers at the American Airlines Center sponsored by Ford?
But wait, it gets better! Our speaker is none other than "Dr. Attitude," a motivational speaker noted for being a "dynamic life coach who specializes in changing behaviors through a positive attitude and who has addressed employees at many top U.S. corporations."
He's a fucking salesman giving us a fucking motivational speech "especially tailored to DISD employees." Oh, and did I mention that there will only be 9,000 parking spaces available for the 45,000 DISD employees? Hmm. Well, I guess we can just load up some busses and--no, wait, we don't have discretionary money available to individual campuses any more to cover the costs of things like this, so we're just going to trust that everyone will show up. We'll take roll.
