Maria “Conchis” Silva sounds like a real peach. According to the DISD Office of Professional Responsibility report that Allen Gwinn got his hands on, the former manager of DISD’s Adult Basic Education Department (ABE) used vulgar and inappropriate language in the workplace; misappropriated ABE staff, equipment and supplies for personal purposes; violated the Americans with Disabilities Act; and misspent more than $30,000 in federal grant funds. Gwinn has posted the entire report. I’m sure the Dallas Morning News will give him full credit when they report the story.
