Thousands of dollars in artwork, limos, expensive meals and liquor charges by employees of the Chicago Board of Education, such as former presidents Michael Scott and Rufus Williams, along with their staff, have come under scrutiny, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman has canceled the credit cards of 89 Chicago Board of Ed. employees, and if they want their cards back, they will have to justify all spending since June 30. It would be much easier to track spending if the Chicago Board of Education (and all of Chicago Public Schools) was transparent.
