The District 220 Board of Education voted 6-1 on Tuesday to take action related to flagrant policy violations of Board Member Erin Chan Ding.
As reported by one of our readers, under Illinois Code 105 ILCS 5/3-15.5, Removal of School Board Members, a majority of a school board’s members may formally determine that one of their members has, “willfully failed to perform his or her official duties,” and should be removed from his or her position on a school board. Following this determination, the school board may file a Petition to the Regional Superintendent requesting that he or she initiate the removal process.
Yesterday we reported that the D220 Board of Education (BOE) voted 6-1 on Tuesday to take action related to flagrant policy violations of BOE Member Erin Chan Ding (See “BOARD OF ED VOTES, MEMBER CHAN DING MADE FLAGRANT POLICY VIOLATIONS“).
The BOE has published its DECISION OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION REGARDING COMPLAINT RECEIVED AGAINST BOARD MEMBER ERIN CHAN DING on the BOE’s Board Docs:
It appears from this Decision, and the continued flagrant violations of BOE policies by Chan Ding, that it’s time the BOE start the removal Petition process to the Regional Superintendent, Michael Karner, Ed.D. It wouldn’t hurt for the BOE and Dr. Karner to hear from the D220 taxpayers too.
As we understand it, grievances can be brought by a member of the public to the Regional Superintendent, so long as it contains supporting evidence. Dr. Karner’s email address has been provided previously, but we include it here for convenience mkarner@lake.k12.il.us.
