Is Lack of Oversight an Oversight?

Who's the captain of this ship? In theory, it's David "I'm a Leader Not a Follower" Stackhouse, current board president .

Well, Captain....your board policy says that the board will receive a quarterly report of all bid items between $10 and $25K.

Since this quarterly report has not been included with any board package, are we to conclude that you aren't following this policy?

Or is it that you aren't following the policy which specifies that bids are required?
