According to published reports in the Chicago Tribune and Daily Southtown, the home and office of Charles Flowers has been raided by the authorities. Cook County state's attorney's investigators raided the home and office of the Cook County regional schools superintendent, a spokesman for the prosecutors' office said.
Investigators executed search warrants on the home of county Regional Supt. Charles Flowers, as well as the Westchester offices of the county superintendent, said state's attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin.
There is an active criminal investigation into Flowers' office, Conklin said.
The raids came in the wake of a "no-confidence" vote by the County Board last month that called for criminal investigations in the wake of a highly critical audit that alleges misuse of public funds by Flowers' office.
The no-confidence vote itself came after the state auditor general forwarded to prosecutors an audit showing debt in Flowers' office last year soared to nearly $1 million as he made personal charges on his office credit card and gave a $6,000 cash advance to a relative who worked for him.
In a reply to the auditor general, Flowers said he personally covered more than $9,000 in credit-card charges unrelated to his job.
In addition to asking the Illinois attorney general and the state's attorney to launch criminal investigations, the no-confidence resolution also asked the state's attorney to seek recovery of $190,000 in county funds the board lent to the superintendent's office last year. The loan is due June 30.

What's the deal with Harry & Elizabeth Reynolds? I know about the scandals in Tennesee and Illinois but there was some other issue in California too? What's the story with these two?
I am so happy this has happened!!! As a former employee I'm hoping justice will now be served. Broughton and Reynolds did right by leaving. They don't want to get caught up. Reynolds and his wife are crooks. Don't know the deal with them in California but I'm sure it is hilarious. All the employees that still work here should be glad that their work has FINALLY paid off! The said thing is, if they close this office those employees who work so hard won't have a job. THAT SUCKS bigtime...
Isn't it interesting that Cynthia Broughton resigned today?
Did they arrest the fugitive Flowers???
Where was Flowers? Was he hinding behind Della Patterson's desk??
Did they find the car??
Did they find his drug paraphnilia?
Was Rue Paul asleep when they raided Charles Flowers house??
Thank you "Dr." Flowers. Thank you for providing more fuel to those who say administrators in education are crooks, liars, and cheats. Thank you "Dr." Flowers for putting another nail in the coffin of public education. Thank you "Dr." Flowers for making it easier for people to attack, judge, and make sweeping generalizations about public educators. I am presuming your innocence, but a man with a doctorate should have the sense to realize your actions are / were suspect, and set some very concerning perceptions. Do us all a favor and go away. Resign. Allow someone with character and a desire to use the position of Regional Superintendent to support the education of children, not support their family and fill their office with A** kissers. Thank you, "Dr." Flowers... Now be a MAN and go talk with the state's attorney..........
DUAA ELDEIB should be given accolades for being a journalist and fact finder. DUAA, your job is only half complete. You must tell the public about Harry and Elizabeth Reynolds and Wiilie Mack (Dist.88) . Check out the Reynolds' careers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in Illinois Disricts Hazel Crest(152.5), Park Forest(163)and Maywood (89). You will find financial choas, and nepotism. You can google this information. you will find the above players connected in a web of deception and financial abuse of tax payers' money. Check it out !!!!
Reading these articles from the papers only makes me conclude that Flowers is a total Crook!
Missing cars and flat screen TV's, never at work,flying his entire family to Mississippi on taxpayer money,12,000 adances on his office credit card,trips with a male friend to San Francisco,etc., what a fraud and what a crook!
The big question unanwsered in today's articles is, who tipped off Flowers and his sisters and nephew, and who tipped off Broughton and Reynolds. I mean what a coincidence that Broughton and Reynolds quit on the 30th, and Flowers and his family did'nt go to work on July 1, and the county raided his office and home, and Flowers was'nt found.
Someone with political influence at the State's Attorney's office must of tipped off someone who would tell Flowers and company about the raid. If this happened then Flowers and his band of thieves probably cleaned up there mess and probably destroyed Key documents.
The only person who is politically connected,who gave us Flowers and Broughton and Reynolds is Karen Yarbrough.Did Yarbrough tip off these crooks??? I don't believe in coincidence, but what a cioncidence that Flowers and his family did'nt go to work and were not at home when the raid occured?
What a cionicident that both Reynolds and Broughton(Yarbrough's friend) both resigned the day before the raid?
I think Yarbrough should also be questioned and investigated, since it was her and her friends who supported this crook!
I also wonder, when will the Forest Park review write an article about Flowers.The Herald wrote one this week, but yet the FPR refuse to write about there buddy Flowers.Also when will Nyburg write something about Flowers????
We must all contact the state's attorney's office and Liz Gorman to mmake sure that Flowers pension is not given to him for all his thievery. Please stop the giving of pension to crooks like Flowers,Reynolds and Broughton.
Send a message to other crooks that they won't be reward with pensions if they steal from children!!!
I wonder if Flowers plans to go on the radio with Dorothy Lane and that other crazy lady to denounce the State's attorney's office!
Also where is Flowers? Why does'nt he go to work? Is he still be paid??
How interesting, someone finally asked about drug paraphnilla! I think some past indiscretions have been well covered-up for this man. Maybe those indiscretions are not so past and can explain where our taxpayer's dollar have gone, beside the identified misuse of funds.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, And Mr.Clean Tony Peraica supports that charlatan named Charles Flowers???????????????. With the presence of illegal drugs??????????????????????. What the hell???????????????????????????.
What is the connection with Michael Caldwell, Charles Flowers, and Karen Yarbough? Why hasn't anything surfaced about Michael Caldwell at Proviso East and the Regional Superintendent's Office?
WHAT HAPPEN AT THE PLCCA OFFICE AND HOW DID THEY CONNECT TO THIS STORY. PLEASE TELL THE WORLD.
