I have some bad news for you about the ISBE, the people who would be taking over.. They’re the ones who gave D65 awards for Foster School Funding, CREATE65, and two years of budget awards (while the budgets had -$10 surprises). I think the old boss might be worse than current boss!!

Sergio Hernandez also works for ISBE, so those awards just seem like a weird ouroboros of self-congratulation.

Like the award that Sergio said we were going to save $5 million on bus transportation and voila, we won an award for expertise in financial management. I recall the FB Army promoting the award to silence anyone who questioned it. Ugh. So bad.

Tom - thank tou for putting the ISBE into context with noting they were the ones behind the bogus awards for Horton’s initiatives. So then they are not at all just some random technocrat guy downstate doing what makes sense to an accountant - sounds like they are more like the Horton deep state network of consultants that Horton would trade favor currency with as part of the educational-industrial complex.
