In the mail today Waukegan residents received the first edition of a multiple page, full color newsletter from the superintendent of Waukegan Public Schools singing the praises and accomplishments of District 60 and bashing the charter school proposal. I'm all for communication, but WHY is money being spent on something like this when District 60 is seeped in debt and the CFO has been warning of a bleak financial picture? (and exactly how much DID this cost?) There's also something about the timing of this proganda that strikes me as questionable . It certainly gives free publicity to the 4 incumbant board members that are seeking re-election in just a few weeks, don't you think? I'm sure Dr. Batiste would be thrilled to have these folks return.....3 out of 4 of them have a solid record of rubber stamping everything the administration puts forth.
This is "over and above" on many levels!
Seriously?
