They're ol boys club members with each other. Corruption always looks out for its own.
DCFS and QPS are taking their medicine.
They (DCFS) have dirty hands.
"Quincy Public Schools (QPS) in Illinois is currently navigating significant operational, staffing, and infrastructure challenges. Key issues include
lower-than-average
teacher salaries causing recruitment shortages, persistent, extensive
HVAC failures in elementary schools, and safety concerns requiring the
removal of stadium light poles.
Key QPS Issues (Quincy Public Schools, Illinois)
- Staffing & Salary: Teachers are paid below the Illinois state average, leading to shortages, especially in specialized subjects like math and science.
- Infrastructure & HVAC: Widespread HVAC failures across elementary schools, including 26 compressor failures in 18 months and leaking freon. The district is negotiating for repairs and exploring $7.2 million in bonds.
- Safety Concerns: Rotting light poles at high school baseball/softball fields were removed, creating safety hazards.
- Security & Community: The district has addressed multiple social media threats, requiring increased security presence.
- Academic Performance: Concerns have been raised regarding low reading proficiency scores for third-grade students.
Operational & Administrative Challenges
- Leadership Changes: The school board recently reopened the search for a new superintendent.
- Budgetary Constraints: The district is using, or considering using, substantial fire prevention and safety bonds to fix building issues.
These
challenges have led to ongoing discussions, with the board and
maintenance teams actively working on, or in negotiations for, repairs
and staffing solutions.
Don't trust either one of them no matter what they say or do.
Karma pushed it in dry!!
