LET THE STATE TAKE OVER-------------ITS THE ONLY HOPE

[Historian Frank]

Because the state is so good at running everything else?

Wow! I did not know the "grammar police" now run these threads. Damn, these folks are going to eat me alive!
I find it quite disturbing that our teachers in Waukegan are going to be the ones that are burdened by the fiscal situation that District 60 is dealing with?
Let's take a look at Lincoln Center? When I was a kid, sometimes we were allowed to go in there during the summer and play a few full court games in the gym. If I remember correctly, the schools ran very smoothly back then. Needless to day, one can not manipulate oneself in the same fashion at the old school's gym on Glen Flore and Sheridan. I hope the School Board sees and addresses this situation appropriately, and not upon the backs of the educators of our precious youth!
Personally, I seek leadership from those elected to make the right decisions. Airborne!

Sincerely,

The problem is the administrative layers are so dense that it costs the district millions upon millions. The administrators are doing just fine financially under their contrct, however they want the teachers to take a pay cut. It is a known fact that it is already tough to get teachers to stay in Waukegan (pay and bad leadership being the reasons), but know to treat the teachers like shi*. The school board needs to realize these administers telling teachers to take a pay cut makes them (the board) look bad. High school principal 160,000 plus lives in Mchenry, Athletice Direcetor 100,000 plus lives in Grayslake, Superintendent 220,000 plus lives in gurnee- and your going to have them tell the teachers who are making about 38,000 to take a pay cut. For your reading pleassure look up what the Lincoln Center "adminsitrativ cabinet" gets paid. The point of my whole rambling mess is: Why would the school board allow these people to make decisisons about our community school system and they wont even be around in two years. Im sure the above admistrators thank the Waukegan taxpayers for their huge pay checks they take back across route 41 everyday. So go ahead screw the teachers who are in the fight everyday trying to make a difference.
