One Red Flag referenced here that I’ve seen in many districts is trading sponsorship for access. A company will sponsor an event put on by a public orgs sister non-profit. The non-profit gets paid. Money goes to public workers via the non-profit. And the sponsoring company gets a contract.
One public school system even set budgets of AI contracts based on what that they could juice from sponsorships.

The solution? Pay public employees more?
