All I questioned were the missing receipts and if the contract ended early. Never heard back about the missing receipts.

Again, thanks. So what about the missing receipts for $18,400, $14,613, and $14,613?

No it was not terminated early. It was a contract for professional services. They paid for the time and services they utilized.

Subject: Re: Second RequestMs. Gillen,The contract was for $184,000. We did not use the full amount of the services with Pursuant Ketchum. It was a professional service, and the district paid as the services were rendered.For the Board,Mary D.

If I request a RTK for missing documents, then I will receive an email five days after I submit it, saying that no such records exist.

Subject: Second RequestDr. Strotmeyer,OK, I lied. This is my first request. I was just saving myself the time to send the usual second request email.I want to thank you, Dr. Strotmeyer, for being so prompt with your last response. Since you seem to be the only responsive school board director, i am addressing this to you.From my blog:Pursuant Ketchum Consulting Services Agreement
Pursuant Ketchum invoices from a RTK
Retained Counsel Fees Schedule according to PK Consulting Services Agreement totaling $184,000. (Travel and Strategic Creative Services not included.)
Missing receipts totaling $54,931. Were they paid from other funds? Was the contract terminated? Is this another example of award winning Jan Klein's creative financing? Would you be able to answer my questions?Thanks in advance.Elaine Gillen
