The incumbent are hiding from accusations of wrongdoing. For example, they don't want to explain why Superintendent Dr. Donaldo Batiste blamed them for serious wrongdoing just before Hawn stated loudly that the entire board was behind Superintendent Dr. Donaldo Batiste 100%. This might cause "issues".

Apparently they had a "failure in their communication" that evening. Listen for Superintendent Dr. Donaldo Batiste's voice to waver when he says " I tried". I think it jwas just a little emotional for him, he was on the spot and tried to speak softly so Hawn couldn't hear. I believe that he never in a million years could have predicted that Hawn would open his mouth and bellow out something that would so clearly contradict him. It is of course obvious that Hawn didn't actually hear what Batiste was stating because of the background noise.
It is clear that one of them is lying. Of course if you're all in it together, when one member of your group screws up and blames the other part of the group, you can either do down in flames of accusations or get back together and go silent until the public forgets about it.
Even still, what happened to all the concerned citizens who knew that there was corruption on the board and in the administration? All that concern seems to have dried up when faced with actual proof that something was wrong in the Waukegan Public Schools Board Room and Administration Offices. I have learned over the last few months that everyone just blames the messenger and that the watchdogs are out of watchdog business now. Judging by actions, no one really cares about corruption at the school board or in the administration. If you supply just the highlights you don't have proof, if you supply details no one cares enough to read it, (except for the School Board Attorney at taxpayer expense) If you supply the actual conversation from a board meeting that proves you have been telling the truth no one still cares. Blame the messengers. Blame the messengers. It's all so "nasty". We don't like to read about it.
Corruption anywhere in our society exists only to the extent that we the citizens allow it to exist. Apparently corruption on the board and in the administration is acceptable to the majority of citizens in Waukegan, ILL and one person cannot fight corruption at any level, especially when citizens continue to blame the messengers.
