I should also mention that Christine was removed because Andy Schlapp called the Dean’s Scholars program a cult when a certain person lost the scholarship. Christine got blamed for that. Schlapp complained to Bardo and Bardo eliminated the Dean’s Scholars program as a result.
Andy Schlapp also got a housing scholarship for someone related to him from Mill levy funds when that person did not have a scholarship that included a housing payment. I wonder if Sedgwick County taxpayers know their Mill Levy funds went for a housing scholarship for this when no other student got the same consideration.
No minority students or others with greater financial need got the benefit of a stand alone housing scholarship from Mill Levy funds like Andy Schlapp got. Is that a good use of public funds?

So were the other three winners forced out like Christine was last year? Pretty interesting that she gets this award and then she is forced to resign for nothing other than being hired by Gene Hughes a couple decades ago. Bardo and his yard gnomes didn’t like that.
