Alan Duncan and Amos Quick; "Through Say Yes to Education in Syracuse, Contreras has worked with her community..."

http://www.greensboro.com/opinion/columns/alan-duncan-and-amos-quick-new-superintendent-will-lift-our/article_dac423fc-537f-5b3f-9162-208f50df6563.html

Through Say Yes to Education in Syracuse,

Contreras has worked with her community to expand partnerships

and address the social, emotional and physical needs of her students.

She will help make Guilford County’s Say Yes partnership

effective for our students and families.

Alan Duncan is chairman 

and Amos Quick vice chairman of the Guilford County Board of Education

I spoke with Amos Quick earlier this year about Say Yes to Education

I had sent him and other School Board , City of Greensboro and County Commission members a version of the following questions;

Please ask Greensboro's City Council, Guilford County's Commissioners and School Board a version of the following questions


http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/06/please-ask-greensboros-city-council.html
.
.
I was informed by Mr. Quick that Say Yes Guilford had been pledged millions of money in donations which are to be paid over a series of years, and that the money touted by Say Yes isn't really in hand

Amos doesn't know how much the assets actually brought in are being charged, or what the money is invested in

Mr. Quick didn't know if the asset managers and Greensboro's Community Foundation or High Point's Community Foundation were acting as fiduciaries for Guilford County student's scholarship money, which would mandate that they act in the best interests of the school system's students

Greensboro and  High Point's Community Foundation are making money on the money raised

Amos didn't know whether or not Say Yes to Education was making money from the assets

Mr. Quick was unaware of the expected pay outs per student, how much was expected to be paid out in totality over the next few years as the number of students graduating under Say Yes doubles, and then doubles again in the fourth year

Amos didn't get back with me concerning the information, as he probably chose to not know what he should, along with Alan Duncan and the rest of the pols

And now Amos and Alan have hired a Say Yes insider to run Guilford County Schools without knowing much of anything as to how Say Yes is going to handle the distribution of millions coming from unknown sources without any idea as to the sustainability of the venture

Either Say Yes is the best thing to happen to Guilford County Schools, or one of the worst, as other systems Say Yes programs have gone under, which the News and Record has yet to report

What it comes down to is Amos and Alan among many others didn't bother to figure it out
.
.
Tuesday, December 22, 2015; "Routh won't run again for Guilford school board"; Mo Green, Nancy Routh and Amos Quick jumping the Say Yes Guilford and Say Yes to Education ship

These Board members are aware the monies pledged to Say Yes Guilford

are to be donated over a series of years, 

negating growth to cover scholarships in future years

which needs to grow dramatically after the demand will double after the first year

and again in the fourth.

It very appears the News and Record and Guilford County Schools

have sold Guilford County's residents with eligible students

a legal Ponzi scheme 

without disclosing the likely medium term unsustainabiltiy of the program.

It will probably take an outside news outlet

to call out the News and Record's culpability

in treating our community like a bunch of easily convinced chumps, again.

Monday, February 8, 2016; "Guilford commissioners hear update on Say Yes"

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2016/02/guilford-commissioners-hear-update-on.html

Why North Carolina Treasurer Janet Cowell isn't running for reelection, and how the City of Greensboro's retirement plan committee betrayed their co-workers

Mary Vigue is in charge of a legal Ponzi scheme called Say Yes to Education

and Say Yes Guilford whose business model skims profits for administrators and vendors

meant for college scholarships for Guilford County students

with monies donated by local foundations, 

managed for a profit by the Community Foundation of High Point, 

and the Community Foundation of Greensboro, 

who's Walker Sanders lied 

to get additional taxpayer funding for Greensboro's STPAC with the help of Matt Brown, 

City Council and City staff, including Rick Lusk.

Friday, November 20, 2015; Say Yes has a problem; Rhino Times Misinformation on Say Yes to Education; "City Doesn’t Say No to $1 Office Space for SAY YES"

Nothing but upside for the managers of the money, 

the 'consultants' hired to spend

what appears to be an outside the normal size portion of it annually

and the managers and the national organization which lacks transparency,

while those who've endorsed the program know relatively absolutely nothing 

about how the finances are going to work.

Thursday, October 22, 2015; Say Yes to Education Independent Contractor Compensation the News and Record's Susan Ladd failed to report

This organization appears to be a big slush fund for some at the expense of others.

If this turns out to be some kind of Ponzi scheme, 

the News and Record will share in responsibility 

for letting our community get ripped off

by some political strategists turned non-profit profiteers.

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/10/say-yes-to-education-information.html

Tuesday, October 20, 2015; Mary Anne Schmitt-Carey; President at Say Yes to Education, Inc.; Professional Fundraising Organization

Should Susan Ladd have disclosed the organization is run by a former Democratic operative?

Did the News and Record report the Philly chapter dissolved?

Does anyone know what the two foundations are going to charge?

Did anyone do any due diligence?

Who stands to profit, through a non-profit?

Walker Sanders and other employees of the Community Foundation I hear.

And the Weaver Foundation?
