But you have to give him a chance before you blow the whistle. The deficiencies may be the result of the owner's negligence or maybe his ignorance. If the previous service provider was negligent, and school districts typically are required to take the lowest bidder and we all know how that translates into knowledgeable workers and quality of performance, then he doesn't deserve having a dime dropped until he has a chance to respond. I'd be pissed if I got a call out of the blue from a regulator because someone turned me in for some issue that I was ignorant of, someone I'm paying who didn't take the time to inform me I had a problem before turning me in.
