Dr. Brent Hawkins, I am very sorry for the following accusation and blog. I was wrong. I mistook an accounts receivable statement for accounts payable. I made a mistake and will not pretend I did not. Again, I am sorry.~ Ginger Russell

Texas Education Service Center VI along with the Texas’s other 19 ESC”S are part of the Collaborative Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC) that sells CSCOPE to their local school districts. Why the ESC’s would be paying school districts for CSCOPE is beyond me. Was this a kick back or a payoff to Houston ISD? Not sure so I filed a Public Information Request with ESC VI asking for “any and all info as to why they would have sent a check to Houston ISD for 17,500.00 in relation to CSCOPE. Strangely enough they don’t have any information as to why they paid the money. ESC VI’s Deputy Director for Administrative Services, Dr. Brent Hawkins sent the following in response to my PIR request.

The fact that the ESC’s offer bookkeeping services to local school districts would make you think that the ESC would also keep proper and detailed records of their own financials but this does not appear to be the case.
