The following are checks paid to Pearson/NCS Pearson by Texas taxpayers via the Texas Education Agency from September 2006 through May 2007; these checks are posted on TEA's website. The Texas Ethics Commission lists Sandy Kress as Pearson's paid lobbyist.
Many thanks once again to Gov. Rick Perry and to Interim Commissioner of Education Robert Scott for posting TEA's check register online earlier this year -- the first and only state department of education to do so in the U.S.!
