Finally, Helen, Someone is thinking of the children!

Money was not the driving factor for returning to work at Pencader, Bob Lewis said. He did it because he loves working with children.He missed them after retiring from the Appoqunimink School District in 2002. He cares so deeply that he donates money to the school, he said, and spends many hours volunteering on weekends and evenings.“Money has never been the object. That’s not why I went back into the game,” Lewis said. “I went back into the game to work with kids.”

Payments to Bob Lewis, made thought his company Educational Consulting, were for more than teaching services in 2011-2012, state records indicate.
His company was also paid several thousand dollars for supplies, records in the state checkbook show. Bob Lewis said he didn’t know anything about payments for supplies.
He suggested it was a coding error in the state checkbook system."And, like I said, if I had the opportunity to show you my actual invoices submitted, you’d see that there,” Lewis testified to the pension board July 11.

The News Journal asked to see those invoices in a July 5 public records request that also seeks cashed checks, the school’s conflict of interest policy and other documents. The school’s assistant leader, Amanda C. Fraser, said in a letter sent July 17 the school was reviewing the public records request. - The News Journal, 7/22/12
