CFO explains why she declined Beaumont ISD job offer
When Ann Westbrooks accepted the chief financial officer position at Beaumont ISD earlier this month, she thought she knew what she was signing on for.
She thought she was going to rebuild the school district's hastily deconstructed internal controls with a superintendent and board of trustees who repeatedly proclaimed to be all about "the children."
Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams had other plans.
Williams announced on April 14 that he would remove Superintendent Timothy Chargois and replace the board of trustees with a board of managers composed of various community members.
That was not the team with which Westbrooks thought she would be working.
Westbrooks declined the CFO/comptroller job nine days after accepting it and three days after Williams announced his intention to overhaul the district.
