Guess who just made the #OhioMBE Wall of Shame. The #Olentangy Local School District #OLSB. Jeff Gordon, the business manager told me he was too busy to attend or send a representative. FYI..#OLSD receives funding from a diverse tax base. They have a moral obligation to make sure they have a inclusive purchasing pool.
Since Mr. Gordon is too busy, perhaps MBEs and other small business should contact him directly to schedule an appointment to introduce their product/service. He can be reached at 740-657-4050.
Interesting OLSD can use our tax dollars to build new schools but they aren’t incorporating minority businesses into their business scheme. Shame on you Jeff. You are on the #OhioMBE Wall of Shame!
Update: The Superintendent Mark Raiff just called. We had an interesting conversation on why minority and small business is good. business. I told him that he receives funding from a diverse tax base. He disagreed. Although his district receives 10 percent of its funding from those not living in the district. Something just doesn’t smell right in Powell.
