Neighborhood schools... great idea in theory...

I can honestly say, I have no use for anyone that can rubber stamp this foolishness. Mr Wang, at Waukegan West, as I do not buy into the new terminology of schools in my hometown,is one of the best I've ever seen and met. That there are hundreds of teachers living their lives in limbo, that there is a suggestion that the class sizes in Waukegan schools will increase, I can make a certain promise. When my baby comes home in tears about Mr. Wang, when I see we attempt to eliminate hundreds of teacher jobs, while eliminating 6 admin positions? Rubber stamping this super, with his remarks, is going to be political suicide. I applaud Mrs. Rita Jenkins and Mr. Garza for their conscientious votes! Shame on the rest that want to increase the classroom sizes. My school board should be giving me examples of how we can reduce them!

Whats surprises me is that the district is scaring these teachers with Projected Budget numbers.

I project that when I go to the grocery store I will spend $150 on groceries every two weeks. I can project all I want. If I decide to spend less on something then I won't go over budget!

I want to know where I can see these projected numbers from years past and the actual money they spent. ?????????????

I want to know if the board will investigate, with due diligence, the spending by each department. the board has to approve amount of x amount of dollars for a purchase. But yet, expenditures to the same vendor, for less than"X" and more, in two separate payments, are not even questioned. Accountability is going to have to be key here! Searching for people that will represent families of Waukegan right now, stay tuned!
