I believe the school board should be looking at building (or making) another campus. This should be a tech campus or some sort of alternative education sight. Or, how about a College Prep only campus?
I hate this term .. but the school board needs to start thinking "outside the box" to get this going in the right direction. And also, why arent some of these good teachers at the school recruited into adminstrative positions. Why must the school board always think some one from another area, who knows nothing about Waukegan is better for those jobs. I can name three to four coaches/teachers that could run that building better then those house principals from Grayslake, Wisconsin, Highland Park, Chicago, Louisiana, and god knows where.
Well with rumor of Batiste leaving after this year, perhaps things will start happening for the better for the district! This guy hasn't done anything for us! He can talk a good game, but he can't back it! The scandals at LC and throughout the district is a joke! Another campus would be great! Tear down some of these run down houses and build something new and something we can be proud of! But again, where's the $$ only if we got the casino!!
It would take a joint effort between the city and the school district.
I have been thinking about this--------And one more campus would be the answer. Build a tech campus and the school system may start to be successful once again.
It is extremely disappointing for me to read your generous offering of my tax dollars to build a boutique high school when, in fact, our children are not succeeding at the elementary or the middle school level. I am going to guess that Bruce and bettyballer are current school board members or district employees, and countymounty... It's no wonder that our schools seem to have no coherent direction, and the failure rate is so high. I believe your anonymous offerings to be completely wrong and reflect the overall quality of leadership and mindset of this community.

Harold Beadling,

No need to attack my personal points of view or opinion. Tax dollars are the only thing that funds the community schooling. The TOWNIES will turn everything around im sure.
I don't know how to respond to your statements when I don't know who you are, or what your gov't position is. Do you care about the future of our country, or yourself? You come across as a socialist to me! Anybody else out there care about the careless waste of our tax dollars?
