It crazy we paying 2 sets of administrators our 2 superintendent make almost 600000 dollars this is outrageous.

Turner can’t make a decision without a consultant that’s just a waste of tax dollars that don’t go to actually educating our kids. Let’s not pretend that Evanston high school is great it full of D65 kids

Just so we are clear, D65 has 6 superintendents.

The non-union non-principal administrative apparatus (ie curriculum, superintendents) costs taxpayers around $6.3m per year in salaries alone. I have a comp speadsheet I shared at one point. Thats 2x what it was in 2021.

I have written to school board members about this and recently to Dr Turner. They really do not feel accountable to constituents to justify how they are spending the money. BTW, I love how you phrased it “non-union non-principal administrative apparatus.” That’s perfect.

I will admit that it was a move in the right direction to consolidate the superintendent for elementary schools and superintendent for middle schools.
