COD chairman shunned duty by resigning

COD's executive board in total, but most particularly its cut-and-run chairman, Kathy Hamilton, deserve the opprobrium now being vented against the remaining board members by this paper.

Why does the resigned chairman get a complete pass in the otherwise good editorials that you run?

I have seen this crisis problem before - in the Round Lake schools. A reform clique appears and takes over control of the board, to try to right an extreme financial mess with debt piled above the taxpayers nostrils.

Members of the reform group resign their office. The Aegean stable remains. In that case the district went under state control.

Hamilton should have thought through the problems that would occur if a new board was elected. Her presence was needed to insure a majority.

The supposedly heartbreaking "mother" letter of resignation did not move me. If she was determined to resign, Hamilton should have obtained a letter of agreement with all board members agreeing on a successor. T

hat was her duty to the faculty, the students, and the people of DuPage County
