I noticed the Evanston Now article on this week's board meeting that they reported that District staff met with the real estate firm JLL regarding proposals to sell or lease District property.
The staff members were the CFO and Beardsley who (according to the DIstrict 65 org chart) works as something called the "Assistant Superintendent of Performance Management & Accountability." I have no idea what the title means, but my understanding was that Beardsley dealt with curriculum.
So the question I have is why is she meeting with big real estate firms? It seems weird especially given the fact that her spouse has a stake in at least one very expensive AirBnb in town.
1) I am told she was in a curriculum job and got moved to move of a buildings role, after Turner did a re-org this year. I don't think there's anything sus about that.
2) I can't stand JLL for reasons involving city stuff
3) I assume they're trying to sell the Bessie Rhodes property
Is the buildings stuff part of her overseeing of "Performance management" or " Accountability"?
It would be fun to see a timeline of organization restructurings undertaken over the past several years. Didn't Horton do a re-org? How much time are they spending rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?
On #3, I read it a little more expansively--like leasing/selling parts of District-owned parcels. Like, say, Lincolnwood school you could sell off the western part of the parcel for home construction and consolidate the playgrounds on the east side.

This needs a much closer inquiry.
What on earth would she be doing meeting with a realtor on behalf of the district as Associate Dean of Curriculum?
I smell a very stinky story here.
