Consolidated High School District 230: What They Don't Want You To Know
Nepotism is a type of corruption where insiders are able to get jobs for their family members. Cronyism is similar. Cronyism is when just friends are hired, and it is more difficult to prove. If employees are hired on qualities other than job qualification, staff quality necessarily suffers, and morale can go down. I don't have any information about corruption at Consolidated High School District 230. But, there is publicly available information that strongly suggests nepotism is widespread within District 230. Some names are very common, so maybe teachers Donald Brown and Laura Brown are not related to each other. However, according to the 2010 census, there were only 231 total people in the US with a last name of Hellrung, and coincidentally, 3 of them work as teachers in District 230. The three of them are pulling in over $350k per year. There are only 121 people named Genslinger in the US, but 2 of those work at District 230. The name Zolk is so rare, it didn't even make it on the Census list, but D230 has 3 of those. It makes you think. Perhaps District 230 schools pay so well because they strive to hire only the very best staff. Is it just an incredible coincidence that the very best teachers happen to be related to each other? Or could it just be nepotism?
There is an Illinois executive order that is supposed to "eliminate nepotism in state government hiring" that it calls "unethical" and in many cases makes it illegal.
Here are people who look like they could be related to each other. It is a long list that I don't pretend to be complete. I'll let you be the judge. Send me a note if you know of other corruption going on at Consolidated High School District 230. secret@230secrets.com
