DA: 'Just not acceptable'
Spota blasts Wm. Floyd superintendent as two former officials plead guilty to stealing from the school system BY KARLA SCHUSTER AND EDEN LAIKIN
STAFF WRITERS
Newsday, January 31, 2006
"It's clear ... that there's something terribly wrong in this district," Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said yesterday, blasting schools chief Richard Hawkins. "The superintendent is the person who has to answer to the community for this. He's the leader. I don't know how in God's name the superintendent of schools can continue to say ... that all these crimes occurred and he and every other administrator in that place were blind to it and couldn't have prevented it. That's just not acceptable. "
DA: School district kept quiet

Although William Floyd school officials have insisted they haven't hidden any financial irregularities, records show they discovered last year that treasurer James Wright improperly wrote $15,000 in checks to himself, let him pay it back quietly and never reported it to authorities.

The Mastics-Shirley Citizens Coalition for Honesty and Integrity in our Schools
About:
The Mastics-Shirley Citizens Coalition for Honesty and Integrity in our Schools was formed
in January 2006 to voice citizens and parents concerns regarding illegal activity and unethical
behavior by William Floyd School District Officials and Board of Education Members.
Our coalition would like to thank DA Thomas Spota and the Suffolk County District Attorneys
Office for all their hard work, as well as Newsday for their coverage of the William Floyd School
District corruption.
Objectives:
The coalition will strive for real and necessary change with regard to William Floyd School
District management. We believe at the very least, School Superintendent Richard Hawkins
should apologize to our community and take full responsibility instead of making excuses for the illegal
activity of school officials, two of which have already plead guilty. Furthermore, Mr. Hawkins has
condoned contracts to School Board members companies, which is highly unethical if not illegal. This is
a quote from Superintendent Hawkins in a recent Newsday article: "It's just perceptual. What we've done
is we have disclosed it and abstained from voting. There's nothing wrong with that." Indeed Mr.
Hawkins, their is something very wrong in supporting such reprehensible and unethical behavior.
Furthermore, Superintendent Hawkins continues to employ a Mr. Dennis Fidotta, recently indicted for filing
a false instrument and official misconduct. While this organization believes in the rule of law that
states a person is "innocent until proven guilty", we do think that Mr. Fidotta should at a minimum be
suspended from his position until the outcome of his trial. Athletic Director Mark Mensch, a former board
member, should also be required to resign from his position because our school district should not practice
NEPOTISM in finding and hiring qualified applicants, especially those candidates who own companies that
have contracts with our schools. Unfortunately, Superintendent Hawkins would have us believe that this is all
quote "just perceptual".
In addition, a majority of our members feel that Superintendent Hawkins should be required to resign as
he has chosen to ignore The New York State General Municipal Law on Conflicts of Interest. That law
prohibits school board members or employees from working for a company that has a contract with their school
district. As for those School Board members employed by companies that have received contracts from the district,
we believe that they should be required to resign their posts effective immediately. In order to achieve these
objectives, this organization will promote the website http://wfsdscandal.50webs.com as well as voice our objections
through other media formats.
Finally, our organization would like to state that our concerns regarding school district mismanagement and corruption
should not be misunderstood as a lack of support for the vast majority of teachers and school staff that continue to be the
exemplary role models our children need and respect, as well as provide the quality education they deserve.

children who are currently enrolled within the school system.
