Billy Welch in Need of GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS...

Sources emailed the highlighter2 at provisohighlighter@hotmail.com stating School Board President Chrissy Welch's brother, Billy Welch, was beat and left for dead for an unpaid debt. Billy Welch is a janitor at Proviso West high school and another patronage hire by school board president Chrissy Sissy Welch. Sources tell the highlighter that Billy Welch is having major financial trouble and bill collectors are calling the school daily. Sources say Billy Welch misses work to play blackjack at the casinos. Sources tell the highlighter that Billy Welch and SB88 member Ronald Anderson are partners in the drug game. SB88 board member Ronald Anderson's house was raided two weeks before his school board election and School Board President Chrissy Welch "took care" of the drug charges.

Do you think people with criminal background records should work around our children? Do you think drug dealing employees are selling drugs to our kids? Is Billy Welch endangering our kids lives since he is WANTED by other criminals for unpaid gambling debts?

More Patronage Hiring and Promotions to Come...

The highlighter received an email at provisohighlighter@hotmail.com stating School Board President Chrissy Welch is going to hire and promote are LARGE number of family and friends at the next school board meeting scheduled on April 16, 2007, a day before he loses control of the school board. Sources tell the highlighter that the feds are aware of Welchs' illegal practices and will indict him soon. Also, Welch promoted his cleaning lady who is also a proviso employee in the Fall of 06.

What do you think about Welch hiring his family and friends? Are these hirings and promotions illegal? Are the cleaning companies so booked that Welch need proviso employees to clean his home?

What do you think about Welch and his dirty tactics? Did Welch think he could get away with scheduling the Proviso First Party along with Dr. Stan Fields?

The "Everybody Hates Chris line" is getting longer...

The results of the 2006 Prairie State Achievement High School Exam were released.

Josh Adams, Forest Park Review, wrote an article dated March 20, 2007 titled, "Scores Continued High Schools' Downward Trend, Fewer Proviso Students Performing at Grade Level".

Mr. Adams writes, "Almost 72 percent of District 209 juniors aren't reading at an 11th-grade level. More than 81 percent can't perform grade-level math and more than 84 percent aren't meeting state proficiency standards in science. On the 2006 exam, Proviso students generally scored lower than they did in 2005. Average scores in reading, math and science all fell. Also, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations saw declines across the board. In recent months, the school board has been bombarded with rhetoric from the district's superintendent on the need to establish new priorities. Fields has openly criticized the district's past practices of floating fat contracts to inefficient administrators and consultants, all the while neglecting classroom needs. There have been no priorities for spending, other than the self-serving needs of those in control," Fields said of Dist. 209's recent past."

What do you think about this article? Has majority board ruined our schools with their self-serving "needs"? Is the schools' new website an immediate priority? Do you think Dr. Fields will be able to make a change with Board President Chrissy Welch breathing down his back for jobs, contracts, and money? Will Dr. Fields ever stand up to Chrissy Welch?

Everybody Hates Chris...Stand In Line...

"Another blog obsessed with Chris Welch". The highlighter obsessed with Chrissy Welch, School Board President of SD 209? No. This is another blog that is exposing Chrissy Welch for the crook he is.

Let's talk about the Insiders, Chrissy Welch, obsession list.

1. State Representative Karen Yarbrough
2. Regional Superintendent Charles Flowers
3. SD 88 Superintendent Nichelle Rivers
4. SD 88 Board Members Busby, Doris, and Wicks
5. SD 209 Board Member Theresa Kelly
6. Proviso Probe Carl Nyberg

This jerk, Chrissy, has displayed false arrest records and divorce records on his blog.

The reason why the highlighter is not a fan of Chrissy Welch?

He has controlled our schools for at least 4 years as board president. Majority board are the decision makers for our school district. Their majority vote can change the quality of education our children receive at SD209. In 4 years, a man can fly to the moon and back 240 times. What has Chrissy Welch done in 4 years to better our schools? NOTHING!!! Can you change a school district overnight? No. Can you change a school district in 4 years? Yes.
90th out of 90 is no change at ALL.

What has Chrissy Welch done in the last 4 years to better his pocket book?

In 4 years, Chrissy Welch, has given 40 million dollars of taxpayers money to his contractor buddies. How much of that 40 million Welch received back in under the table contributions? Welch has hired at least 15 relatives costing taxpayers at least $400,000 a year. He has hired friends and girlfriends costing taxpayers at least 1.5 million dollars a year, i.e. Godmother Principal Gorilla Wallace, girlfriend Business Manager Nikita Giraffe Johnson, Assistant Superintendent Dumb Libka, Multi-talented Kyle Hastings with 5 other jobs, Godfather Gene Moore receiving $18,000 a MONTH, picture taker Angela McDaniel receiving $70,000 a year, promoted Jose "Tony" Santiago (retired Feb. 07) with a 5th grade education to a $90,000 a year position and etc. He has financed all of his campaigns. Built a $500,000 house that is cleaned weekly by proviso employees.

Chrissy Welch, the insider, does not want to lose his fringe benefits and must continue to have majority board. DO NOT support his candidates for SD 209, 88, and 89.

What else has Chrissy Welch done to better his pocket book? What has he done for the children of SD209?

SD 88 Candidate Having Second Thoughts???

The highlighter has learned that SD 88 candidate Daphene Walker is having second thoughts about becoming a school board member. Sources tell the highlighter Daphene Walker has learned that if she wins the election, she will become another puppet of Chrissy Welch. Chrissy Welch is the former attorney of SD88 who was fired twice and wants his job back. Also, she is not happy with running mate Tommie Miller because of his horrible reputation.

What do you know about Daphene Walker? What do you think about Chrissy Welch, who charged SD88 $225,000 in a five month period, being re-hired by his friends if they gain majority board?
