The Evanston Now story quotes Turner saying something like ‘I’m an educator, I don’t know anything about construction.’
It just reminded me how much the board failed in its secretive superintendent search.
Turner is the second superintendent in a row hired in secret who has zero experience heading up a school district.
We will never know who else applied for the job, but it is not hard to believe that there are probably good candidates with experience overseeing BOTH education and new school construction.
They should have prioritized that in the search. We’ll never know whether they did or not since the entire process was conducted behind closed doors.
Some discussions I contend were in violation of the OMA, in particular discussions about the residency requirement. I have an open case with the IL AG on this right now.
At least Turner knows what she doesn’t know - Horton would still be out there YOLOing it.
