REDRESS GOVERNMENT SKOKIE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON MADISON IN SKOKIE ILLINOIS ClausonM@skokie69.net 847-675-7666 Combative superintendent in this video, Clauson Margaret Skokie School District 69 (847) 675-7666 g.co/kgs/5mHSiqv GOOGLE REVIEW
It's difficult to stomach Margaret Clausen and witness her egregious behavior. Her level of arrogance and dismissiveness is off-the-charts embarrassing. As the SUPERintendent, she sets the tone for how others perceive this body. She has failed miserably to provide the leadership necessary. She never lets up. What is involved here... an overinflated ego? Is she upset because she doesn't know how to deal with the statutorial shortcomings of the entity that she supposedly represents? I hope white-woman "Karen" privilege isn't at play here... Many thanks to the viewer who suggested that George visit this public entity. Dead-on accurate about what George would encounter when dealing with this place and these people. The taxpayers of Skokie, Illinois need to do some house cleaning and toss out the trash.
What a horrible representative!!! She needs to be reminded who she works for. Horrible attitude just blowing him off. Where do they get these entitled Karens???
The superint. of Snokie has contempt for the people who employ her. Unacceptable. There are millions of new people coming into the country who will replace these over stuffed govt workers for a lot less pay and benefits
Superintendent is a joke. Look at her actions. Unprofessional public servant. Who the hell is she training with that miserable attitude. Replace her with someone who enjoys getting paid by the people they SERVE!
Margaret Clauson earned $287,287 in 2020 as a District Superintendent for Skokie SD 69. Clauson earned more than 100.00% of employees in Skokie SD 69. Clauson earned more than 99.98% of employees across all School Districts.
Disturbing that the superintendent would attempt to weaponise her ignorance of the FOIA laws to attempt to remove you and confuse the FOIA Officer. some people just show that they are not qualified for management positions. Great job as usual!!
Your comment was perfection, Sir! "Disturbing that the superintendent would attempt to weaponize her ignorance of the FOIA laws in order to remove you and confuse the FOIA officer..."
I’d much rather have a rude FOIA officer who is FOIA compliant or at least knowledgeable. This FOIA officer was nice and polite, but she seemed SO confused.
Jesus christ..it's very clear and very simple. If an officer pulls you over and asks for your license, can you tell them it's recorded with the department of motor vehicles ? No. But there is zero accountability with our public employees. It's absolutely absurd.
Loved seeing the superintendent standing on the stairs with her arms crossed staring at you speaking with the Foia officer. She was seriously ticked off
Clearly this is the first day they actually have to work. And don’t ever treat a member of the public with disrespect. We are your boss. And we will be making phone calls so this never happens again to a member of the public. Learn your place public servants
@@fs127 These two clowns of the SKOKIE SCHOOL DISTRICT will discover that Audit Them is not a joke and he will force compliance to the letter of the law
Oh wow. They really don’t get that one guy with a running phone camera reaches tens of thousands of citizens within days. “‘Hello, may I speak with the superintendent please?”
I know, eh. I've been watching George since he started and can't believe he hasn't reached more people. But he is growing and he is strong in character. I know his channel will grow. Thanks George!
This video is probably one of my favorite AUDIT THEM so far. It shows how professional George is despite Margaret Clausen's disdain and childish threats. "I don't give my consent." (She doesn't even understand the laws involved with regard to recording public servants while they are performing their duties in a public place. I wonder if Margaret Clausen is one of those EdDs or PhDs who likes to go around reminding everyone and/or referring to herself as "doctor."*** Insert laughter! ) ***While I applaud any higher education she has, it is quite laughable when people are that full of themselves. My three oldest children are real doctors; my daughter is a PharmD and my boys are actual medical doctors. My husband has a lowly PhD like Margaret. I can assure you that none of my kids ever tells ANYONE what their level of education is without purpose. I bring this up because George had a previous video in which the superintendent kept referring to herself as Dr. So-and-So. If you're ever on an airplane and the flight attendant asks, "Is there a doctor onboard?" I hope Margaret Clausen doesn't raise her hand.) Thank you, George, for summarizing 35:56 everything. Love how she continues to behave with disdain as she stands at the bottom of the stairs with her arms crossed and a smug I'm-the-SUPERintendent look on her face. 38:40 Any questions? 40:11
School districts are right up there with town/city/county/state Attorneys offices for not knowing a damn thing about public photography and about FOIL …
Again huge building and you have to do your business in the lobby! Sick of hearing excuses about people's privacy from government employees. Older lady wearing short skirt running up and down stairs was a sheet starter behind everyone.
I see and hear something new every time I watch this video. There are so many lessons to be learned from watching George in action. He is an excellent mentor/teacher for anyone hoping to do what he does. Thank you, George, for all you do...
I generally avoid reading the title of George's videos until I've watched one for a few moments. As soon as the superintendent showed up, I understood why George titled this one as such. Margaret Clausen wastes no time demanding (with NO authority to do so) that George stop recording and leave. She even raises her hand numerous times pointing somewhere... 20:31 The street? The gutter? Instant failure, SUPERintendent Lady. Instant belligerence and unprofessionalism. No wonder she doesn't want to identify herself. And even though George let's her know how horribly she's behaving, she continues with her pointing and finger-snapping and unforgivable a-holery. What a disgrace!
Their first resort when they don't appreciate what you are doing ( legally ) is to ask you to leave. Then you put them in their place. Then they get condescending. Margaret Clausen , you should be ashamed. I hope you read this. And as far as the Foia lady , you have shortcomings at your job. However , I didn't notice any disdain towards George. I truly think that you are wonderful person. George , you are exceptional at what you do. Keep it up. I love watching you keeping an eye on our government.
The looks that the super and the FOIA officer were giving each other was absolutely disgusting 🤢; like they had a secret thinking you were crazy and they were just tolerating and/or placating you to just get you out of there. The FOIA officer didn’t engage in ANY behavior remotely close to that level of disdain until her leader came and both modeled and encouraged it. Just gross. I would bet a million dollars she treats parents of children receiving special services the same way. I’m VERY interested in what they spend on attorneys every year of her employment. Because I’m guessing she weaponizes their legal team against student and parents.
There is nothing better than the anticipation of watching and waiting for George to expose professional courtesy or rude noncompliance. (I try to avoid reading the title of his video for that reason.) I just arrived and I'm waiting for this audit to unfold... so far, I'm enjoying George's matter-of-fact comment 7:57 that "Yes, I am recording audio and video." (He's essentially letting this public body know that, "I'm here. I'm doing the public/people's business of 'monitoring government to ensure it's being conducted in the public's interest.' 5:11)
If you're new here, prepare to watch a MASTER CLASS in auditing. For anyone unfamiliar with George or what he does, this video has it all. It is easily among one of my favorite audits by George.
Half of these people who say "it's on the website" have no idea if it really is AND if it is they wouldn't know how to find it themselves. This creates a barrier for the Public to get information, auditor or not. Additionally, lying should be absolutely unacceptable for public officials. They hold a position of trust, and should not lie under any circumstances. The public generally trusts a public official to know what theyre talking about so if they dont know they shouldnt act like they do.
GOTCHA !! Caught them not doing their jobs for a long long time. SO they are embarrassed and they throw you out of the building to TRY and save their face. SHAMEFUL, SHAMEFUL.
You are certainly one of my favorite auditors with such professionalism and forthcoming. Can only imagine all the public bodies that exist that have been out of compliance for decades, even a century plus. It’s truly insane. And I love the coin sounds, cracks me up every time 😂
i have been refused meeting just cos I had camera at this place so had to turn off my camera and they were not transparent when it comes to foia at all. zero accountability!
Wow what a hot mess! Fire the S.I. she needs to go immediately! The fact that she continued to be a 💩 is so telling!!!! And Yes you repeatedly told them what you needed and they continued to ignore the facts! Great work A. T. 💜
As is the case more often than not...public servants (and another supervisor at that) being belligerent and treating a member of the public with distain, as he is there to conduct legitimate business requesting records. Absolutely unacceptable!!!!

Thank you for giving information for redress!
@@raza5775I agree. I can't wait for the privacy strikes to start coming in to TH-cam. It's going to be fabulous.
Superintendent =
Super embarrassing
Super belligerent
Super misinformed
Super tyrannical
Super worthless
Super obese

Nasty public servant superintendent
You misspelled "superincompetent"
Such disrespect for the public when questioned by the public. Stealing money from the taxpayers for doing nothing.
What a horrible representative!!! She needs to be reminded who she works for. Horrible attitude just blowing him off. Where do they get these entitled Karens???
The superint. of Snokie has contempt for the people who employ her. Unacceptable. There are millions of new people coming into the country who will replace these over stuffed govt workers for a lot less pay and benefits
That's not a good thing.
Do you have any proof that this jobless clown works there and pays taxes? I bet you don't.
Prominently displayed, that is plain English. Furnished immediately, that is plain English. The Superintendent should be fired.
She is a bully plain and simple. She has probably bullied kids all her life. She is what teachers are trying to stamp out in the classroom.
Superintendent is a joke. Look at her actions. Unprofessional public servant. Who the hell is she training with that miserable attitude. Replace her with someone who enjoys getting paid by the people they SERVE!
The attitude when asked to do your job is unacceptable. Redress your government!!! The poor, poor children. She thinks she’s a dictator.
How does she old the position she holds when she doesnt even understand the english language? Crazy.
I tip my hat to you, brother for knowing your stuff Keep up the good work the people appreciate 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks George. These employers are so ignorant & uneducated& dictatorial. We need you.....

and she refuses to do her job, she should be fired

I've noticed that is a default position for them when they get confused or feel threatened.
They go through most of their careers browbeating others.
Margaret Clauson should be fired for not performing her position and hatred for the public

Yes. Tell them it's available on the website. Along with your proof of insurance and registration.
She need to be fired. She has no comprehendinh skills
Lol!
Here we go again, public employees failing with full force🤦
Sad to see this government body with such poor management… wasted tax dollars on employees that are non-compliant with FOIA act
The superintendent's behavior is disgraceful. She needs to be fired ASAP. We, the people, deserve way better.
Loved seeing the superintendent standing on the stairs with her arms crossed staring at you speaking with the Foia officer. She was seriously ticked off
If they worked as hard as they argue I’m sure they wouldn’t have to argue about anything.
Funny how after you said you were a member of the public, they started making it difficult.
They can only do their job under the threat of audit.
So the superintendent would not identify?
Someone please tell us she is not still on the payroll,Such a disgrace.
Clearly this is the first day they actually have to work. And don’t ever treat a member of the public with disrespect. We are your boss. And we will be making phone calls so this never happens again to a member of the public. Learn your place public servants
Keep your kids away from this district!
These public servants have completely destroyed their little bit of credibility.
They think it's a joke.
Just goes to show how negligent we've been to let it get this bad.
@@fs127 These two clowns of the SKOKIE SCHOOL DISTRICT will discover that Audit Them is not a joke and he will force compliance to the letter of the law
They just dont want to d o the work we pay them for , its on the website blah blah blah transparency, rudeness and laziness
Oh wow. They really don’t get that one guy with a running phone camera reaches tens of thousands of citizens within days. “‘Hello, may I speak with the superintendent please?”
Standing there rolling her eyes noone disobeys her she was raging with anger
I love your channel, GOD MORNING, BEST KNOWLEDGEABLE AUDITOR ON THE PLANET
The one thing that infuriates me every time George asks someone to do their job, answer a question, etc. is "He or she is in a meeting."
They're trained to say that. I'd like 1a auditors to start foia requesting these so-called meetings. Bc those are public record.
Noone ever available ...
@@SingleMaltBuckeye Excellent suggestion regarding a FOIA for their so-called meeting(s).
I swear after watching two of your videos i know more about foia as prbly. 95% of these so called foia officers... And im GERMAN! Lol
We can foia that info
You just know the superintendent is a cat lady! Poor cats! 😂
You misspelled 'superincompetent'
Your visit will be imprinted in their memory, and on YT.
What an embarrassment, this video now becomes part of a training lecture on how not to be a superintendent, city council take note.
Everything is on the website. Well then, you're fired!
And how does this channel have only 43.6k subscribers? This channel is entertaining and educational !
I know we all need to share!!
He's incredible. I have no doubt he's going to be huge very soon. I like him more than LIA.
Audit Them is one of the best auditors in the game right now... imo. Love this guy!!
Because he is unresponsive to comments ,
I know, eh. I've been watching George since he started and can't believe he hasn't reached more people. But he is growing and he is strong in character. I know his channel will grow. Thanks George!
just more in the endless parade of pizz poor public employees all over the country
So sad, and all of this was voted for.
Margaret Clauson should be fired for not performing her position and hatred for the public
More uneducated, unprofessional public servant's 😢
This video is probably one of my favorite AUDIT THEM so far. It shows how professional George is despite Margaret Clausen's disdain and childish threats. "I don't give my consent."

Why can't the school district comprehend a very simply written statute?
School districts are right up there with town/city/county/state Attorneys offices for not knowing a damn thing about public photography and about FOIL …
Wow so unprofessional of these women we will definitely redress this
I've seen people FOIL their calendar to verify what they are claiming...like a training or meeting etc.
"Any questions"...in unison -"Nope" Perfect.👏
Ur my #1 Auditor🎉 U got my vote governor
Pls request all denied foia requests for 2024
Again huge building and you have to do your business in the lobby! Sick of hearing excuses about people's privacy from government employees. Older lady wearing short skirt running up and down stairs was a sheet starter behind everyone.
She is absolutely stumped
Omg she just doesn't get it. 😮
This is the best, hold them accountable to the rules and law!
Wow! The disdain the 2nd woman has for the public is astounding.
George, next time they behave like that, they can fill out the request for you while you watch them. Just like they did to you.
I see and hear something new every time I watch this video. There are so many lessons to be learned from watching George in action. He is an excellent mentor/teacher for anyone hoping to do what he does. Thank you, George, for all you do...
She is a pathetic employee. She needs a new job
They r not doing their job
She is failing to understand and she has been failing to do her job since day 1
Well done Audit Them!❤❤❤❤❤

Looking at Ms. Clauson reminds me that I need to find my bowling balls soon.

how rude that woman was.
She's confused.
She should be fired.
Im sure she probably got a promotion by now.
And an awards ceremony in her honor for standing up to the law abiding member of the public
Are they saying that this woman is getting paid and doesn’t know what her job is?🤯 then why is she getting paid with tax dollars
@Audit Them is RAD‼️👍💯👊⚘️
It’s ironic their number ends in 666. Says it all.

I called and talked to them. Maybe I will make a video on how to redress.
Hope you recorded it. Please post it.

Love the way you put the superintendent in her place, she stood like a naughty school girl just been given her poor performance. Fire her

Thank you Audit Them! ❤ 🙏
Did u watch the FOIA officer face while you where talking to Margaret. Priceless
It's at 28:50

Absolutely unacceptable!!!!
GREAT JOB! They might think twice next time they want to be snotty.
How in hell does she think she can make him leave???? She needs to be put in her place or better yet fired.
