The D220 Board of Ed gets another “F” in accountability & transparency

As readers are aware, a Petition was recently started for the removal of School Board Member Erin Chan Ding in the wake of her many violations of D220 policies which resulted in a legal investigation of Chan Ding’s activities and the resultant finding by the D220 Board of Education that Chan Ding made flagrant violations of D220 policies. (See “BOARD OF ED VOTES, MEMBER CHAN DING MADE FLAGRANT POLICY VIOLATIONS“)

The Petition to remove Chan Ding is now over 630 strong. Read up on the Petition here: For the Resignation of Erin Chan Ding ~ D220 Resources are Not for Political Campaigns

We’ve been advised by a friend of the Observer that a FOIA request was sent by him to the D220 FOIA Officer for communications related to the investigation of Chan Ding and her violations of D220 policies. That FOIA request was recently responded to, and, you’ll be amazed (LOL) to learn that the D220 Board, through its FOIA Officer and Superintendent Winkelman, has refused to respond to the request, claiming that it is “unduly burdensome.”

The response states:

(O)ver 7000 pages of emails were identified that may be responsive… It would take an unreasonable period of time for a staff member to review all of the records… the School District would need to utilize the services of its outside legal counsel to review the records at a significant cost to taxpayers… Review of the records would disrupt the duly undertaken work of the School District… In this case, the request is unduly burdensome and the burden on the School District outweighs the public interest in the information.

Isn’t that rich? We, the taxpayers, have been funding the legal review of Member Chan Ding’s conflict of interest in running as a Democrat in the primary for the State Representative of the 52nd District while serving as a 220 Board Member, her D220 policy violations in seeking the nomination, the resultant investigation requiring the retention of separate legal counsel, and her punishment, ongoing training related to her violations.

Yet, this District refuses to provide us taxpayers with the communications related to the very investigation we paid for? Citing it as burdensome?!

Given that D220 is claiming that there are over SEVEN THOUSAND pages of emails related to Chan Ding’s FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS of Board policies, how can anyone conceivably argue that the whole Chan Ding debacle is not a distraction to the Board, the District and its business?

The Chan Ding distraction prevents the District from complying with it’s obligations to the taxpayers and respond to a simple FOIA request because it’s too burdensome? If that’s the case, why isn’t the Board petitioning the Regional Superintendent of Schools for Chan Ding’s removal if she has become such a disruption in the duly undertaken work of the District?

The lack of transparency and accountability by the District and the Board of Education is revolting. We think the petition to remove Chan Ding doesn’t go far enough. We’d like to see the removal of any School Board Member and Administrator who refuses to provide the taxpayers what they are rightfully entitled to.

Paving paradise?: Historic Barrington neighborhood opposes District 220’s plan to buy land for parking

506 W Main St, Barrington, IL 60010 | Zillow

By Steve Zalusky | Daily Herald

A Barrington neighborhood with a rich history is gathering petitions to stop Barrington Area Unit District 220’s plans to buy four properties to provide parking for its new auditorium.

The district approved contracts in August to buy 502, 506 and 510 W. Main St. and 112 N. Hager Ave. at a cost of $985,000. Closings are expected next month, and the district is asking for village board zoning approval.

Residents of the Walnut Grove neighborhood told Barrington village board members Monday they oppose the rezoning from single-family residential to public lands.

The residents have collected more than 150 signatures, and several plan to speak at the District 220 school board meeting Tuesday.

They say the district’s plans endanger a neighborhood with deep roots in Barrington’s history — some of the homes date back to the Great Depression and include Sears kit homes built by Barrington High School shop students.

“There is always an ongoing conversation in our community about having enough parking at the high school,” not only for students and staff during the school day, but for after-hours activities, District 220 Superintendent Craig Winkelman said at the Aug. 19 school board meeting.

During the recent referendum, as the district was considering expanding the auditorium, the district received feedback about adding parking to accommodate the increased seating, he said.

However, Walnut Grove residents who voted for the recent referendum that made the auditorium possible say they were blindsided by the district’s decision. They worry about future land acquisition on their block and are a decline in property values.

Residents suggested the district use about 10 acres of buildable land it owns.
