For the last month I have been in contact with a former memphis City School employee by the name of Timothy Stroud.. Mr Stroud has contacted every media source and every poli-trick-an in the area wanting to blow the whistle on a current MCS employee who he states has done away with at least $250,000.
When I was told who the current employee was I told Mr. Stroud that I know the person and that I had supported the person in a recent bid for the Memphis City Council. But I assured him that if he could provide documented proof of mismanagement and proof that the person's actions had not been approved by MCS I would go forth and break the story. I even made contact with the accused person who stated to me that nothing had been done wrong by him/her.
On tonight Mr. Stroud supplied me with documents that make me wonder whether or not the MCS employee/want to be poli-trick-an is telling the truth. On tonight I will post the name of the person along with a letter from Mr. Stroud that breaks down exactly what he believes happen to the $250,000.
I am posting the first letter I received from Mr. Stroud which will give you an idea of what he states happened. I am removing the name of the employee and the vendor that was used until I break the story on tonight. You will notice that every media source has been give the opportunity to break the story but has refused to do so.
I will supply documentation that will show that the current employee admitted in a 2007 hearing that he/she did not fill out fundraiser forms,Did not fill out school activity accounting forms.neither did he/she have board approval to use a certain vendor as a fund raising source. Documents will also show the current employee stating that he/she filled out approval forms for out of town field trips,and that a fundraiser for John P.Freeman school was unapproved.
HERE'S THE FIRST EMAIL I RECEIVED:
From: TIMOTHY STROUD
Subject: INTERNAL AUDIT REQUEST: XXXXX- XXXXXX PIZZA COUPON CARD FUND RAISERS 2000 - 2007

Dear Dr. Cash,
I am Timothy A. Stroud, Parent of a MCS student and Shelby County Tax Payer. I am writing you to ask you to launch an internal investigation and a forensic audit into the financial dealing of XXXXX and XXXXX Pizza Representative
I am presently involved in a Chancery Appeal hearing as a part of my Appeal process revolving around the wrongful and illegal termination of my employment from Memphis City Schools by Labor Relations Administrator Kimkea Harris on Janaury 26, 2007.
On November 16, 2007, XXXXX testified under oath in my illegal post-termination and upon being examined by Board contracted Attorney Jeff Weintraub, XXXXX acknowledged that he has coordinated and promoted several XXXXXXXXXX Center (TCC) sponsored XXXXCoupon Card Fund Raisers and that he has "NEVER" filled out and turned in a Fund Raiser Approval form. The Fund Raiser Approval form is required to turned in prior to conducting any fund raiser and should be turned in by the coordinator of the fund raiser. It captures the economic features of the fund raisers such as profit margin, tax info, amount to be donated to the school and how the funds collected will be used.
I find it disturbing that self appointed Director of Schools, Kimkea Harris sat in this hearing and heard XXXXX zealously testify about how much money he has raised with this coupon card fund raiser while admitting that he has never given any finacial accountability to the district for all of the money he has raised using this fund raiser.
Within my rights to discovery, I requested and MCS was compelled by Hearing Officer Jay Roger Robinson to produce all of the financial records associated with "all" TCC sponsored XXXXX Pizza Coupon Fund Raisers. Attorney Jeff Weitraub answered Motion to Compel and clearly stated that there are no records of any TCC XXXXXPizza Coupon Card Fund Raisers on file at the TCC or at the Board of Education.
In this day and time of economic crime from Wall Street to Avery Avenue, as a concerned parent of a Memphis City Schools student and as a tax paying citizen of Shelby County, I am asking you to please follow up with this very serious situation. I am aware that XXXX recently ran for City Council and I would hate to think that he could have possibly misappropriated those funds to help finance his campaign! I am just saying....this really needs to be thoroughly investigated and if there is no findings, at least we will know the truth of his financial dealings associated with all of the past TCC sponsored XXXX Pizza Coupon Card Fund Raisers from the year 2000 through 2007.
The fund raiser is a very lucrative fund raiser and when operated correctly is very advantageous to the students that participate because each sell of a coupon card yields a 80% profit margin to the student. The cards sell for $10.00 and $8.00 from each sell goes to the student to use towards the payment of their trip and $2.00 from each sell goes to XXXXX Pizza.
I would also suggest that you all contact XXXXXat XXXX Pizza at XXXXXXPizza and he is willing to share his books to show how many cards he issued to XXXXX during the period in question(2000 - 2007). Mr. Thomas can be reached at 901.XXXXXXX.
Thanks in advance.
Please advise,
Mr. Timothy A. Stroud

Mr Matthews,
There's no wonder there is no justice in this county. If there was, we would have no one to run the government. I feel sorry for the kids, who are searching for role models.
It can't be this bad across the nation. Damn!!!
This Timothy Stroud must be a real nut case in sending that email to more people than I would waste my time counting. It's people like Matthews that grasp onto these unsupported allegations as he in contrast to the others has little else to do. Another investigation that will go nowhere.
Tim is a known drug user and liarN that's why no one will respond to such absurd vile informatiion I pray thbat Ike sues you
Another malfeasant city school employee who has been caught, fired and now wants to rat out the rest.......NEGRO PLEASE!
Another disgruntled thief who got caught who needs to face reality and go get in line with the rest of the bums at Poplar and Claybrook, in the unemployed line.
NEGRO PLEASE! DAMN!

Ike Griffin....yep thats who it is.....RIGHT?

IKE GRIFFIN
JUICY!
IKE IKE IKE GRIFFIN
Judgement proof Mathews just wallows in innuendo, something responsible people wouldn't do, nor would they be stupid enough to make chancy accusations.
Next thing you know, Matthews will be posing here in the buff if it will bring him hits or attention. As for most, they don't have a 40" monitor that might accommodate his frame.
Isn't this Tim Stroud a digruntled employee?
Just another lying, drug using negro!

"It can't be this bad across the nation. Damn!!!"
Its really not.
Memphis is unique in there is so much hatred for PEOPLE in general.
And its not all a black and white issue.
Folks just seem to hate everyone and want to do harm.
For some reason or another Memphis has a curse on it.
I've been here 22 years now, and its just amazing at how the violence, hatred, greed and curroption has grown.
Trust me, the rest of the country is NOT like Memphis.
Get the 250,000 back and cut this high ass grass at these schools. It is a shame for the grass to be this high at the schools, while they allow the county schools to use the equipment.
Black People needs to be LEARY of the Newspapers and Television so called News REPORTING...They do say or print SELECTIVELY...AND THE WORST PART ABOUT IT IS THAT
"WE BELIEVE EVERTHING WE HEAR".
BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS, ALWAYS FRONT AND CENTER...T.V. NEWS STATIONS...YET, WHEN YOU HAVE WHITES THAT COMMIT CORPORATE CRIMES, WHEN YOU HAVE THE WHITES THAT STEAL MILLIONS, WHEN YOU HAVE WHITES THAT COMMIT MURDER...HAVE YOU NOTICE THAT EITHER THEY DON'T PRINT IT OR THE MATTER IS
DOWNPLAYED AS IF NOTHING SERIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I HAVE SOME VERY LOYAL, DIE FOR WHITE FRIENDS THAT IS WHY I CAN SEE CLEARLY BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN BECAUSE WE ARE VERY HONEST, OPEN WITH EACH OTHER.
YES, THE NEWS STATIONS, THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL DEFINITELY SELECTIVELY PROSECUTE BLACKS WHILE THEY SELECTIVELY IGNORE THE WHITES WRONG DOINGS. WHY? MAYBE SOMEONE CAN TELL US.
BLACK BETTER BE CAREFUL IN THIS CITY....YOU BETTER STOP TALKING AND START DOING.
ASK THE QUESTIONS, WHY?
WHAT WILL WAKE THEM UP...TURN THE T.V OFF...STOP BUYING THE NEWSPAPERS. ITS ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE, MONEY.
LISTEN AT HOW CHANNEL 13 REPORT THE NEWS...THUGS,CROOKS,LOW DOWN DIRTY...WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PROFESSTIONAL NEWS STATION REPORT THE NEWS IN THAT MANNER.
VALERIE CALHOUN ELKINGTON HUSBAND...JOHN ELKINGTON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CROOKS IN MEMPHIS...YOU SEE HOW QUIET IT IS KEPT. DO YOU HEAR THEM TALK DEROGATORY ABOUT HIM? NO.
Just the other day a man murdered his wife, threw her in the river and because his family HIRED LESLIE BALLIN...THE NOTORIOUS NEGOTIATOR....THE MURDER ITSELF WAS DOWNPLAYED...AND THE FOCUS WAS THEN PLACED ON THE YOUNG MAN ATTORNEY. WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT. A WOMAN IS DEAD, THAT MAN WIFE IS DEAD.
THAD, YES, YOU ARE A FOOL AND WILL LIE WHEN IT BENEFITS YOU BUT ALL IN ALL...KEEP BRINGING US THE WELL KEPT SECRETS. ONCE YOU BRING IT OUT...MAYBE THEN THE STATIONS WILL PICK IT UP.
THADDEUS, EXPOSE SOME OF THEM WHITES THAT THE NEWSPAPERS AND TV STATIONS ARE TRYING TO KEEP A LID ON.
HI THADDEUS
I WATCH YOUR SHOW DAILY. I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY, BUT YOU OFFER GOOD ARGUMENT. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE PEOPLE THAT CONTACT YOU, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG LADY THAT WAS CHEATED OUT OF HER MONEY FROM MITCHEL HIGH SCHOOL. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR YOU HAVING THE COURAGE TO EXPOSE THE DEED, SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER MONEY BACK. I BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL PUT A STOP TO SOME OF THE STEALING.
THANKS AGAIN.
