Betsy Homan is not the daughter of SF Super Pam Homan when she is punched in at her job at STI.
As South DaCola reported (due to a tip from a reader) there seems to be some questionable nepotism going on in the SF School District. Well, Stormland to the rescue;
SIOUX FALLS, SD – Superintendent Pam Homan is facing new questions about whether she’s following district policy after her daughter was hired to work at Southeast Technical Institute.
According to the Nepotism policy, no one can be hired that would be supervised by an immediate family member. Further, no member of the Superintendent’s immediate family can be hired in any continuing capacity by the district.
Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Nepotism.
Alberty says it is not a violation of policy because while Southeast Tech is governed by the Sioux Falls School Board, which approves hires, he says it operates essentially as a separate entity and has a separate nepotism policy, which gives Southeast Tech’s president employee authority.
According to the organizational chart for Southeast Tech, Holcomb reports to Homan, who reports to the school board.
Once again. Pretty cut and dry. Nepotism.
When we asked Homan to comment for this story, we received an email from a staffer saying in this matter, policy speaks for itself.
It sure does. It is nepotism. But will the school board do anything about it? Probably not, that would require them to cut their apron strings from Homan and the district’s attorneys. And once again, Pammy gets away with bending the rules to her benefit.
