District-wide contracts = the virtual high school contracts he pushed on JCPS from the board upon which he sits. So far it's just two high schools, but just wait. Over the next several weeks we'll be examining all of Berman's time away from the job, time permitting. If it’s during the week, it’s hardly on his own time.

Berman's an exempt employee -- which means he's not on a time clock. If he misses work one day, he's supposed to make it up some other day. And considering the nights, Saturdays, and even Sundays he probably puts in, missing those days for board meetings is Not A Big Deal. If no JCPS money was spent for travel, then I don't think there's anything there. (Although, I didn't get the reference to cost of "district-wide contracts." Can you elucidate a little more on that?) The other stuff -- yeah, let's keep looking at it. But attending board meetings on your own time and dime is not an issue.
