Proviso Township High Schools District 209, established in 1910, is located in western Cook County, Illinois, US, near Chicago. Its headquarters are in Forest Park.[1] The district encompasses most of Proviso Township, excluding the extreme southern portion. The district's motto is the Latin Nihil Nisi Optimum, which translates to Nothing But The Best.
The district serves Bellwood, Berkeley, Broadview, Forest Park, Hillside, Maywood, Northlake, Melrose Park, Stone Park, and Westchester.[1]
History
CBS New has reported: [1] On that bill of Proviso Township High School District 209 Supt. Dr. James Henderson's are: • An event described as "adults only" and BYOB costing $4,200. • An extra $10,000 to his salary. • $14,000 in payments made to companies owned by Henderson's relatives; • A credit card used without authorization onto which $12,000 were charged.
The Mississippi state auditor is coming to collect that cash – calling for Henderson to pay almost $91,000 in mismanaged money. Supt. Henderson was issued a demand letter. Sources close to the school board say they worry the superintendent's spending history will repeat itself here. They point to issues already with the superintendent – including a three-week-long teachers' strike and a public spat with another school board member.
