The District statement says the software went out for other school districts. Can we find out if these other districts also had payroll problems?

Yes it is the board’s responsibility.

We should never hesitate to remind people that the superintendent runs the day to day operations for the district and is also ultimately responsible. This is the second superintendent in a row to come to Evanston with no experience as the top executive in a secretive process.

I wonder if they had applicants in the past pools with experience dealing with payroll, or school construction for that matter.

Is the board hiring the best candidates to run the district? Why do we have two people in a row without top managerial experience?

I've been trying to find other districts with problems but have come up empty .. but I don't know the name of the software vendor (still looking into this).

Regarding who does what - one thing I've been thinking about a lot is like - the board generally views their role as setting the budgets and hiring the superintendent. But like, I don't think that's working.
