The reason the district continues to spend so much money on outside service providers and consultants is because the excessive central administration and board simply don't want to do the work that needs to be done in house! Spend, spend, spend until the money runs out and then everyone looks at each other with their mouths open and says that they should be able to do things as other districts are doing but in reality no one wants to do the HARD WORK and figure things out. Just pay someone else to do it, well look where that has gotten the district. This is so disgusting and disheartening. I can't believe we have teachers and paraprofessionals still willing to put up with this. Shame on the board and the Supt. Enough is enough!
I'm thinking some administrators don't want to do the hard work, and a lot of them simply aren't capable of doing the work. As far as the teachers putting up with it ... well, lots of us have already left. I expect the exodus will continue.
The competence bit is a serious issue. You go from a superintendent with a PhD from Stanford to a dude with an EdD from Chicago State. And the latter prioritizes hires based on his CPS network rather than merit, it seems.

We've got the worse of both worlds - we're paying for the outside consultants and the in-house staff!
