These are PTA numbers, and, as such, are questionable.
For one thing, the use of instructional hours argument is valid. For another, it is a very gray area if PTAs/PTOs are allowed to contract for ANY obligation of FCPS facilities or personnel. So I'd like to see that added in-after all, taxpayers already paid for it.
Yes, there are FCPS contracts with Boosterthon but they are really, really vague. If you ask a question about these contracts, you get referred to the Office of Communications, and they don't reply. FOIA is of limited use, except for getting copies of the contracts, but those raise many unanswered questions.
If you want to see Jensen's fees, go on the FCPS site and look up his contracts. Divide the number of days he "consulted" by the amount he was paid. FCPS is short money because they waste it on people like Jensen and trips to New Orleans, Korea, and Orlando.
