WILLIAMSFIELD, IL. (ECWd) -

Board Pres. Chuck Ingle

We attended the Williamfield CUSD #210 School Board Meeting last night, January 8, 2018, and participated in public comment during their Hearing on transferring $50,000 from one account to another.

Both Kirk and I voiced our opinions and displeasure of Chairman Chuck Ingle's actions during their Dec 2017 meeting (here) when he wrongly cut-off a commenter and threatened to have her removed from the meeting for doing nothing more than mentioning a board member by their name.

We were hoping what we had to say would be considered prior to the BoE meeting immediately following this Hearing, but the Chairman ignored it.

Watch the Hearing below:

    Just love these politicians who don’t have the courtesy to look up at a speaker.

      That was the Hearing, and it was over. The monthly meeting immediately followed this one.

    I must say that you fellas hit it out of the ball park on this one with your comments and their sober silence makes me think that you convinced them of their error. I am more hopeful for this board than I am for the others that you have attempted to enlighten.

      I think you are correct. This board was miss informed from the past board on the public comments. The past board always gave 2 minutes and this board was following their lead.This school has been a mess since this Administration took over. Never hire home town boys.It has become the home town club. But easy fix now that they know.
