Iowa Teachers Eat At Vegas Hooters With Federal Money Earmarked for “low-achieving schools”:

As Chris Rock used to say, “Nobody goes to Hooters for the wings.”
And it’s true this time also.  In this case, teachers from Waterloo, Iowa wanted $30 steak dinners.  Plus, they wanted you to pay for them:

In Vegas, one teacher used taxpayer money at a Hooters restaurant, and others bought $30 steaks and submitted receipts that weren’t itemized, so the district had no way of knowing what was bought. A number included expenses for incidentals, such as snacks, which district policy forbids, records requested by Iowa Watchdog show.

In all, the district spent $32,910, which included airfare, hotel rooms and registration for the conferences, to train staff on ways to improve schools with high poverty and large minority-student populations. The money came from a $4.4 million pot of federal school improvement money awarded to Lincoln Elementary andCarver Middle schools.
