Hiba Ahmad writes: “Francis Howell School District in O’Fallon, Missouri, paid a conservative consultant thousands of dollars in fees for services that were not approved by the Board of Education nor by the district, according to documents obtained by St. Louis Public Radio. The consultant, Jordan Adams of JC Adams Consulting, was contacted by board member Jane Puszkar. Adams offers services to review K–12 curriculum and materials for age-appropriate content.” An April email from then–District Superintendent Kenneth Roumpos to Adams said the district would pay the invoice but that the work had not been authorized and no further work was approved.
