IRS: Gary schools owe $6.7 million

GARY — The Internal Revenue Service is seeking $6.78 million in unpaid payroll taxes from Gary Community School Corp.

The IRS has filed two liens in the Lake County Recorder’s Office against the school district. One lien, filed Sept. 3, seeks payment of $5,270,467 for payroll taxes in 2013. The other lien, filed June 24, says the district owes $1,514,529 for part of 2012 and 2013.

IRS spokesman Luis Garcia said the agency doesn’t comment on specific taxpayers.

“The public document has to speak for itself,” he said.

The documents state the IRS is giving notice that taxes, including interest and penalties, have been assessed against Gary Community School Corp. and Michael Washington, its interim chief financial officer.

“We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid,” the lien notice states.

Gary attorney Robert Lewis said the district plans to establish payment plans for its debts.

“We have a number of creditors, like most people. We are working diligently to get these taken care of,” he said.

I would think the parents would see to it that the School Board is held accountable for seeing that the administration follows the law or fires those responsible.

Didn't realize this was a humor thread until I read your post. So far, you are in the lead for the funniest post.

How can these people teach math and logic when they can’t keep their own books in order?

I drive through Gary on Routes 12 & 20 quite frequently. It is downtrodden, barren and boarded up with just one decent downtown attraction, The US Steelyard, for minor league baseball - “Home of the Railcats” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Steel_Yard

There is a very nice area at the eastern city limits called Miller Beach http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_Beach

No contradiction here. They are doing neither.

I’m guessing the Gary IN school board and municipal government is run exclusively of libertarians. Prolly for generations.

Why would libertarians have any interest in government schools? Other than getting rid of them, that is.

If that were the case with all public schools, a national problem would be solved.
