Assessing Educational Competencies

We need to share some important information with you. The Mississippi Department of Education needed a company to oversee assessments of special needs students, so they hired a consultant to help them make a selection. This consultant then guided the MDE to select his previous employer after signing an affidavit stating that he has never worked for them. In addition, this out-of-state company's bid was $800,000 higher than a competing offer submitted by AEC in partnership with Morris & McDaniel.
