We expect ALL board members to do their job. When you can’t do it without being disrespectful or disruptive, then you are no longer effective. When you have advanced education you need to have better social skills if you ever want to distinguish yourself as a leader or authority. When you act like a loud-mouthed lout, nobody cares what you have to say. Why would anyone want Valenti as a Superintendent or a Principal when he acts this way? I questioned his agenda when he ran for this position. Sad to see I was right.

Valente is doing his job in attempting to protect our interest. At least he is willing to ask questions. This rubber stamping needs to come to an end. There is nothing wrong with asking for the hiring process your employee is using. When you move educators around from school to school because it is proven they can’t teach and yet they are not asked to leave!! Pls!! Some of the other board members need to get on board and step it up or step aside. Tony keep asking the questions! Who is really suffering here?

Bill Foster is a big government liberal. All he knows how to do is overspend our hard earned money. He voted for Obamacare, he supports cap and trade, and is weak when it comes to making tough decisions to stop the frivolous spending concerning the debt. Those three things will bankrupt this country. He would spend us to kingdom come if on the school board.

I seen this on a comment to a new artical (I think Oberweis’ blatantly false advertising lost him the election. The anti-foster ad with the “throw enough money at it” sound bite oh so obviously taken out of context made me think Oberweis is just another Illinois politician who lacks integrity.)
Maybe Foster should be on the school board.

Valente makes a lot of valid points and I bet a lot of people agree with him as well as myself. I just wish there was a better way for him to get his point across.

Valente is a distraction and needs to step down. It’s hard to imagine any school district would hire someone who can’t get along and has nothing to contribute but negativity. He has no business working in any school system.
