its funny that this article doesnt mention that Batiste is getting a pay raise himself. How is that even fair? We are going to fire 560 people. but me and my friends are all going to get pay raises? The district should be cutting from the top rather than cutting from the bottom. People wonder why our district is slowly falling apart. It that we have an administrator who does little. Even though we provide him with a car, and gas money. And the recent addition of a machine in Lincoln Center that is there to Scan your ID, and make you a little name tag before it will even let you in the door. But they also pay someone to sit at that door and press a button to let you in. So then why do we need the machine? We already have someone sitting at the door. And why cant that person who we are paying 10-20 dollars and hour plus benefits also do what the machine does? Its funny to see where your tax dollars are going, cause it is not to your child nor their education. its to the administrators. Its no wonder that waukegan has more administrators than any other district in the county. The teachers are getting screwed. I would not be surprised if in a couple of weeks the teachers decide to go on a strike.
