I believe there should be a forensic audit. I think it would clear many things up about the spending that went on over the years. For anyone to believe that is is not necessary and buys into blind faith that the elected officials have been completely honest in the spending of school money is just unreal. I would tend to believe that anyone against the audit would probably be someone that knows just how dirty the books are. The under-the-table deals have to stop sometime if this district is to even try to pull out of this. Sure, the state of Illinois can take some of the blame, but so can the local people that are misusing fund for personal gain of favoritism. Recently, I heard of a board office secretary that received an 18% raise added to her $60K job. That is just insane. As for teachers living out of the district, that is somewhat of a mute point. There can be a number of reason for that. Maybe they *grew up there and decided to reside there *have a spouse that teaches in another district *want to live there Just because a person teaches in GC doesn't mean they can't move or shop somewhere else. I don't see a Target, Kohl's (for clothes) or Sears (for tools and appliances) in town here for residents to spend money at. We don't even have a bowling alley anymore. But, this thread really isn't about where people are living and spending. It is about how the school board and administration is handling funds and the questions that the teachers and public (taxpayers) have for them regarding that. Hopefully tonight's school board meeting is an informative and productive gathering (one could only hope) and not some tangent filled screaming match which will accomplish nothing.
