"New leadership is at the helm of the Waukegan District 60 Board of Education. We are calling on newly elected board president Mike Rodriguez to steer a truer course for the district than has been followed for quite some time.
Mr. Rodriguez has an opportunity to set the tone for greater leadership, accountability and professionalism. Several critical areas are in dire need of oversight."
Roxanne Swanson wrote some very strong words that touched the hearts of many lifelong residents of Waukegan, as well as new residents to the district.
I hope the pessimism, shared by a few, does not follow my post. My child will graduate from Waukegan, because she is so passionate about remaining here. My youngest may or may not. I pray the Lord above gives our Board the strength to make the hard, sometimes unpopular choices, and create an environment of learning once again.
Thank you school board for your service to Waukegan in an unpaid position. Please hold those that are paid well, with Waukegan Tax dollars, accountable for all that they do. Many of us have faith you will serve us well.
