As District 186 tries to finalize budget numbers for this school year, the district’s top financial officer has abruptly resigned.
No reason was given for Leonora Beck’s departure, but a district spokesman says she was not fired and says her departure was not directly connected to school board complaints about large variations in the estimated savings from proposed budget cuts.
Beck’s predecessor as business services director, Agnes Nunn, will come back to serve as an unpaid consultant to help the district pull the budget together before a scheduled vote in late August.
