.. if the Board was "led to believe" anything and had no concrete proof, then they're NOT doing their jobs. Although seeing the names of the people on the board, that's no surprise. Some of them haven't done their jobs for twenty five years - why start now? Oh wait - it's McDonald. We don't expect accountability!
Gosh, I'm glad the board answered the questions. This is the extent of the article? I hope this is expanded upon, because this is hardly an article worth publishing, even online.
As an alum, this makes me sad. It's a shame the village doesn't demand more accountability from their public servants - school, village, elected or not. Once the checks start bouncing, clearly there are problems. How many people suspected a problem and never said anything? Does the treasurer still have his job? The superintendent? I suppose when you're on your way out the door anyway, the current situation doesn't much matter to you. Pass the levy - and then demand more. Throw out the school board and start over. Clearly they're not doing their jobs, either. Get people in the jobs that actually care about the school, instead of the status that comes with the position. That said, good luck finding that in McDonald. I'd guess you've managed to run just about everyone that fits that bill out of town, or at least squashed their spirit to where they know people don't care and won't waste the time. Glad I moved.
