You know your district is dysfunctional when... UPDATED

your superintendent stops speaking to your chief financial officer.
Things are continuing to be lively in Philadelphia, with the now-fired superintendent going on a large media swing to blame, well, pretty much everyone else for what's gone wrong. She's been encouraging parents to quit the system, as well.
The media and others are calling for more information on what she's saying, and they also want to know just who anted up for nearly half of her termination pay, information the mayor has refused to release.

UPDATE: And now Philadelphia's Children First Fund, which apparently solicted the donations for $405,000 towards her severance package, is having its tax-exempt status investigated by the IRS. You can't be a charity and solict funds to an individual "for her sole benefit."
