Ms. Pasicak, I will be brief because the broken record of the newspaper’s CAO coverage keeps skipping to the same tired note. Whatever journalism ethics you and the paper once had seem to have evaporated. At no time did you say that the CAO’s hiring of JWE was approved by the Office of Head Start of HHS,...
Greetings Everyone, The Buffalo News continues to wage its campaign of innuendo and slander against the CAO. Now the “newspaper” seeks to imply impropriety because the CAO’s Head Start administration used a nationally recognized, highly qualified minority-owned consultant firm to provide portions of its staff development, professional development, accreditation services and parent engagement services over an eleven...

Foremost, no one at any federal or state agency has contacted anyone at CAO about “investigating”...
