Clare Jellick’s investigative reporting has impacted District 150. Jellick recently revealed that the same law firm was representing the school board and the Peoria Housing Authority (PHA), presenting a conflict of interest in the district’s desire to purchase 22 acres of land from the PHA.

Apparently as a result of her report (I highly doubt it was a coincidence), the district initially put a conflict waiver on the agenda for Monday’s school board meeting, but then the waiver was pulled from the agenda, and apparently the school district is now looking at procuring independent legal representation for the land deal. Kudos to Clare for her good work!
