Summary of Sharpnack’s Expenses
from
March 2009 to May 2011
Total Reimbursement: $4,414.13
The $4,414.13 includes $736.45 in mileage, but does not include the fees paid directly by Fort Cherry School District to third parties - for example, conference fees.
The NSBA Conference fee for Sharpnack’s trip in April 2011 was $860, taking the total over $5000.
There may have been additional fees incurred by the District for Sharpnack’s travels as well.
Here are the words of one FC resident in response to the previous posts describing Sharpnack’s expenses.
This blog could not have phrased it any better . . .
“It's disgusting. Not just the obvious...the waste of taxpayers' money (which just further confirms what I always say - "very generous with other people's money"), lack of any oversight, and non-compliance with policies, but there are other issues as well.”
“I find it appalling and to be the height of hypocrisy for Sharpnack to challenge the public to give more of their hard earned money (to the tune of $1 million!) while he wastes it. Sure, it's not a ton of money, but it adds up over time (as the blog points out). Shouldn't he lead by example by not over-charging the school for his expenses...or by toning down his lifestyle while on the public dole...or better yet by not even asking for reimbursement of such things as coffee, tolls, mileage, etc, thus in essence making a donation himself??”
Well said!
Shown below are Sharpnack’s expense reimbursement forms which were given to a resident in response to a right-to-know request. Some of the reimbursement forms have been thoroughly reviewed in previous posts.
The resident requested expense reimbursements submitted for the time period of January of 2008 to August of 2011.
All RTK requests are processed by FC Open Records Officer, Paul Sroka. The public is given what Sroka deems public. There is no guarantee that the documentation provided to the resident was, in fact, all the reimbursements submitted by Sharpnack.
