Bright Horizons backs out...

It was announced today that Bright Horizons will be backing out of its proposed partnership with Racine Unified. Bright Horizons, a nationally known and accredited early childhood educational institution, was recommended to run a preschool/daycare operation at the site of the former Caddy Vista elementary school.

It would seem that the REA (and others) were not happy with the outsourcing project. I don’t really blame Bright Horizons for backing out; what company in their right mind would want RUSD as a client? Oh yeah, that would be the Public Business Consulting Group, the consulting group that handles RUSD’s financial operations.

Ironically (?), this same group originally gave thought to submitting their own plan for the Caddy Vista site, but did not do so to avoid concerns about conflicts of interest.

Why do I feel that this is not a dead issue?
