Complaint filed over reform consultant hiring - Connecticut Post: "The e-mails, some of which were obtained by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers, indicate Education First Inc., of Seattle, and Leeds Global Partners, of New York, were both acting as consultants for Pryor even before their contracts were signed earlier this year.
Education First's $60,000 contract and Leeds' for $195,000, plus other add-ons, were paid by SERC. In addition, Pryor, who took his job last fall, said recently that SERC was used to expedite development of the governor's education proposals. Both firms are still on the job; extension of their contracts is under discussion.
An e-mail indicates the Education Department transferred funding to SERC at around the time Leeds contract was approved on Jan. 26. Officials at SERC have not returned several calls for comment."
