I've worked for Fortune 500 companies that had their own security detail and they only drove Toyota Prius's. Their security details were slowly driving around all day to patrol company facilities and do safety checks. They didn't need tinted windows or a V8 for high speed pursuits. All of the top executives at those companies also drove their own cars.
Meanwhile, District 65 buys nicer Ford Explorers than the EPD has with tinted windows to 'transport our safety team as first responders' and to use for 'occassional transportation for administrators'. We are talking about unchecked spending in a school district, not a Fortune 500 company. Where were the internal controls and timely financial reports in District 65? Does the District 65 safety team really need top of the line Ford Explorers because they are speeding across Evanston in order to get Dr. Turner and her high paid team to the next elementary school visit on institute days? Unbelievable.
Great points. The people running the Fortune 500 company and using Prius’s were financially literate, eco-conscious and self-secure. On the other hand, in our district we had Horton who was financially illiterate, selfish, and needed an ego-boost so he bought top of the line gas guzzling SUVs so he could feel like he was really somebody. These SUV’s should be sold. The highly paid staff can use their own vehicles. It’s time to stop stealing from our children. Shame on the school board for being complicit in this reckless spending.
