Speaking of Oversight of Abbott Districts,

the Courier Post reports today that an audit for the Camden City Schools turned up 38 problems, 10 more than last year:
Nine current errors were cited in the troubled Food Services Department. Several others involved reporting of student activity fund accounts. And 14 of the issues that need correction are holdovers from last year, according to the audit by Ford-Scott & Associates of Ocean City.
Many of the errors stem from the Food Services Department so the Camden Board is conducting a forensic audit. Last year the department lost $1.5 million to mismanagement.

Semantic Aside: anyone notice that we're calling our 31 poor urban areas "Abbott districts" again, in spite of the fact that Corzine's School Funding Reform Act did away with the designation? Maybe it was all a dream.
