Ms. Swanson,
You may want to consult with the rest of your COSLA members. Your statement above is factually incorrect for several reasons. First, I did come to COSLA - I have the emails. I also came to COSLA via this public forum. Second, after coming to COSLA, you were going to meet with me. Three of you in fact. Although, you would never set the date for the meeting. Third, my reason for reporting the actions of the administration to the State's Attorney office was due to the pending cases for Williams and Artley. I thought that the DA would be interested in the administration forging and falsifying timesheets when charges were pending against two, now found innocent, employees of the district involved timesheets supplied by the very same administration. When that seemed to fail, I thought that citizens of this town would be interested in justice. But noone came forward.
Although, I wasn't involved in or consulted by whoever wrote the messages on the paper's website, I agree with many of their comments. For example, I agree that corruption involving the administration, board or board's attorney wether it involves allegations of wrongding involving time sheets, violations of law or a foundation's report of alleged wrongdoing or unethical behaviour IS part of the same large serious problem with the school. So is lying to the SA and the Illinois Attorney General but again why would anyone care about that?
Everyone KNOWS that the school is plagued by corruption, wrongdoing, incompetence, unprofessional behavior and very sad results for our children. BUT not if it involves anyone on the current board, board attorney or the administration that they know, or drink with, or went to school with or work with, etc, etc.
While they continue with their corrupt ways, everyone on this board that professes to have their children's interest, the interest of the community and fellow taxpayers in mind continues to argue amongst ourselves rather then working together in our common interest and investigating all of these reports matter of factly. I'm sure that the board, board attorney and administration are laughing so hard at all of us - they hurt.
