Interesting that D65 board continues to hold public at bay. Grateful for your sleuthing. There should be a running record of board missteps; maybe that will move voters to remove current board.
D65 board stopped caring about violating the OMA years ago. They have no idea what their job is and never seem to get in trouble when they don't follow the law so why stop violating it? Honestly, at this point, it's so egregious that Evanston voters should be to blame. Look at the recent pic of the board in Evanston Now article - Joey and Omar and wearing hoodies is as Biz with her normal baseball hat. I can't imagine attending a board meeting looking like I just left a high school baseball game. These people could care less about rules, decorum and responsibility. They think Evanston voters gave them carte blanche to do whatever they want, most of which they probably don't have authority to actually do. Nightmare!
They know —because Evanston seems to be in a permanent zombie like state —that they have carte blanche to do whatever the heck they want….even accuse us of horrible things, lie and grift off the backs of the very students they claim to care so much about. This town is bizarre-o.
The "Superintendent Goals and Indicators" in that contract are something else. She is supposed to "consistently apply an equity lens to systems, policies, and practices."
I hear this term "equity lens" all the time. What the hell does it mean in practice? If you are evaluating someone for applying said "lens" how do you know? Check with their optician and make sure they've been wearing their equity glasses?

It may not affect job performance, but does anyone know the last time a superintendent lived in Evanston?
