Two Questions Asked At School Board Meeting That Go Unanswered?
In reference to the $10,000.00 fine from the state for a continual tardiness in getting payroll information in on time. "Will there be any disciplinary action taken against the employee responsible for this situation?"
In reference to persons in school management positions going to those who work under their supervision and seeking them to sign their petition to recall the Financial Management Act of 1981.
In light of the conflict of ethics and the employees feeling "pressured to sign" will this Board prohibit this action and inform those managers to stop this behavior?"

So, they didn't answer those questions, huh? Does that really surprise anyone? We are talking about a "secret society" here...
Its disgusting on both counts. I'm disappointed in my school board representative. He won't get my vote next time around.
The fact, that "someone" within the state has taken an action against corruption and incompetence is a very good sign. Tax payers paying to have records properly maintained, paying again to correct them, then paying someone to right the wrong, is a triple whammy on citizens who are totally ignored by government agencies who are supposed to protect them. Insult is added to injury by fining citizens who have been violated instead of those who flagrantly corrupt and pillage the citizens' government! That fine is imposed on a public entity, that we pay to educate our children! The fact that they punish the good people and let the bad off the hook is a bad, dumb, sign!
Instead of blaming someone who is drowning in bureaucracy & mindless paperwork, why not start at the top and solve the real problem? We have a right to expect a director of schools and board of education to know what's going on, know right from wrong, and honestly communicate with the people they are supposed to serve! Other than Mrs. Murrey, it's a money game of illusions and fraud. She is treated like a red headed step child because she cares and will fight for right. ... all a parts of the bad, dumb sign!
The audit findings are several notches less important than approving falsified financial documents that are used to requisition public funds from one entity of control to another. The $698,000 phony reserve was either a clue missed or potato too hot to handle. Once again, the audit skillfully avoided our annual budget / funding process & tradition of deception and fraud. Read the 2007-8 budget preamble of notes (disclosure!) and compare the figures to the financial statements that claimed we needed a new $838,000 tax plus taking the lid off the cookie jar. Compare the projected sales tax to the 2006-7 audited actual ($ they knew before passage). Don't try to write it all down ... you'll run out of paper!
missed the signing thing on my5:37:00- sorry about that, don m
Here's some info and questions someone might want to ask the school board...As I said before, my job is on the line, but I posted that someone with more courage than I possess might want to look into it. In a previous post, I said someone should look into the grants that have been awarded. There is a fifth grade position posted on the GC School website. Pure speculation, but watch and see if a current 5th grade teacher suddenly is employed full time in a grant position that has not been posted.See if it is not the same teacher who for the third year has had a parade of substitute teachers, regularly leaves the classroom unattended and steps on whoever tries to get in the way. Watch and see and their will be no consequences...That tolerated behavior is what gives all teachers who are working so hard, a bad wrap. I sure would like someone to create a high paying job for me or at least see the school teachers who are doing their job a measley 1 percent raise...Also, I wonder why a teacher aid position is requiring a teaching license....hopefully that's a typo, but an embarrasing one to be on a school website.

If you will please contact me at 363-1983 your identity will be kept in the strictest confidence. If you are unsure please send me a number where I can reach you. Allen Barrett
Mr. Barrett, I may or may not contact you privately. In this day of caller i.d. and different ways of tracing calls, it would be risky. I do trust that you would keep my confidence, however the old adage, "When more than one person knows a secret, it is no longer a secret", is so very true.
I will be happy to give you any info that I am personally aware of, no hearsay, I promise, through this venue. I do detest anonymous postings, but in this case it cannot be avoided, I fear. What I spoke of regarding the 5th grade teacher is a fact...one only has to look at the GCBOE website to verify the info. Nothing has been said to the faculty at large regarding an opening at that school, and the teacher has made statements to other teachers, (this is hearsay, I must be clear on that), that she will have a new position as Mr. Jackson said she cannot both teach and work as grant writer. I see no position posted for a grant writer or anything similar.Again, I must emphasize that the teacher has said nothing to me personally, but it doesn't take a genuis to see the writing on the wall. Mark my words, it's coming. To verify, take note of who the 5th grade teachers are at all schools now, and who is no longer one in a few weeks. Then find out whose children have been in that classroom for the last 3 yrs., (It's always in the newspaper at the beginning of the year) and interview those parents and students...you'll see what's been happening. And it is my OPINION that a school board member would happily oblige you in your effort to help uncover this travesty and right the wrong, although it's too late to give the children that have gone through that room that school year back.
To Anonymous of the 23 Dec. 7:14 post. I appreciate your response and certainly appreciate the situation you are in. You can always send me communication via the mail with out a name or return address. It's not easy trying to deal with the frustration of watching the daily activities of those who continually abuse the system and get rewarded while so many others work hard, try to do the right thing and end up holding the bitter end of the shaft. Please understand that I have absolutely no criticism of you are anyone else who post anonymously unless they use that listing to hide behind while making vicious and unfounded personal attacks of another.
I will follow up on your tip and appreciate your efforts to right a wrong. Allen Barrett
Wow! Even the moonies trusted their leader.
It absolutely amazes me that anyone would put their trust in WAB.
808 you speak like a true koolaid drinker, condemning those who fight deception & corruption. What is your cause that drives you to defend corruption at the top of the school system?
anonymous..
Wab is already salivating and drooling at the possibility of "exposing" another caper. Go ahead and send him the information if you must, but bear in mind that you will have to share in the responsibility for the people he hurts. Is it worth that?
8:53 Its not that he fights deception and corruption. He fights everything, and he fights it in such a manner that he never wins. It has been suggested many times that if he were really interested in helping the people, that he change his approach. He is not interested in helping. He is interested in feeding his ego!
The thing that bothers me most about his "exposing" of corruption is that he doesn't seem to give a hoot who gets hurt in the process. The people he and others of his ilk so wantonly smear on this blog and in the newspaper have families who suffer as a result. How is that even remotely fair? I predict that one day these people just might cross the wrong one who will come after them. That would frighten me.
We have a legal system that's designed to handle corruption and wrongdoings. Let's turn evidence over to the system and stop all this name-calling and smearing.
To Anonymous writers of the 24 Dec. 6:22 and also the 25 Dec 8:56 posts
To Anonymous #1. Where I come from when you fight you don’t do it with disingenuous sweet sounding words and limp wristed touchy feely comments. If that is too much for you I’m sorry that’s just who I am. I don’t “fight everything” only those things I deem important and in keeping with my character. There are many more things that I am for than against but when good people and their rights are being trampled by abusive two-bit bullies I will and do take a stand. It has nothing to do with ego only with right and wrong. Do I win every battle of course not but winning some now and then is far better than never trying.
To Anonymous #2. Please understand that I have much sensitivity for the families, of those who abuse their positions and embarrass them. Understand I did not create the situation that caused embarrassment. Would you suggest that those who commit crimes not be charged because it would embarrass their family, or that it’s the arresting officer that creates the embarrassment for the criminal’s family?
There is no one I have “wantonly” smeared on this blog or in the newspaper. Please give an example if you have one but I suspect this is just more hot air you tend to continuously blow. Have I written about some in such a manner as to embarrass them? Yes, but it was their actions that created the embarrassment not me.
You ask, “How is that even remotely fair?” What a typically juvenile question. What is fair in today’s world? What’s amazing is that right after you speak of fairness you make this statement. “We have a legal system that's designed to handle corruption and wrongdoings. Let's turn evidence over to the system and stop all this name-calling and smearing.” I would agree with you on that matter except the legal system is one of the most unfair systems in existence. When two drunks get stopped driving down the road and one turns out to be a judge and the other is a shoe salesman can you guess who goes to jail and who gets a free ride home to sleep it off?
Even police officers have to pay the bills and that isn’t easy when you’re unemployed.
Do you think any average citizen who was driving drunk, led police on a chase at over 100mph to evade arrest then resisted arrest when he was finally caught, and was verbally abusive to the officers would be given the same ten day jail sentence to be served on week-ends that State Representative Briley was given? And you consider the legal system to be trustworthy? Give me a break. There are many in law enforcement, at all levels, who are very diligent in doing the right thing but then as in everything there are those who simply have a job and spend most of their energy trying to keep it and advance. Allen Barrett
wab..
Oh, to say you are a "character" is certainly an understatement. No, I do not suggest that those who commit crimes go unpunished. How asinine to even say that. What I AM suggesting is that it is not your place to be the sheriff. Turn your "findings" over to the law enforcement system and allow them to do their work. They certainly do not need your intervention beyond presenting them with your evidence. Oh, but you would say they can't be trusted. How convenient. And just because some in law enforcement are unscrupulous doesn't give you license to become the prosecutor!
You mentioned that you have never attempted to smear anyone on this blog or in the newspaper. I suppose you don't see calling Mrs. Vanzant a liar and Mr. Jackson a fraud (among other descriptives) as smearing? Again, how convenient.
Wake up Anonymous, I never called Mr. Jackson a fraud and I only referred to Mrs Vanzant as a liar after she lied to me on several occasions. I find it amusing that you ignored everything I said in support of why the legal system can't be fully trusted. What a piece of work. Allen Barrett
Feed that ego you worthless piece of crap.
Merry Christmas!
Are you still a preacher?
Sadly on Xmas Day I have to cnsider the writer immediately above a Gutter Snipe!
And I consider you very gullible.
Used to be a few years ago, not any more though.
wab..
Again, how convenient for you to call me another name ( apiece of work). Where do you get off with such behavior? And I would also ask...are you still professing to be a preacher?
Oh, don't worry about whether or not I need to wake up. I am wide awake and see clearly what you are all about but unclear as to your motivation. I can only conclude, as I've said before, that you are so resentful that you couldn't get elected to an office and probably never will be because of the way you behave. Once again, I will continue to point this out to you each and every time you do that...as long as the Lord gives me breath.
As for my ignoring a ddiscussion with you about our legal system, I think you already know I am right about the issue. Turn what you have over to that system and then butt out. But your distrust and paranoia won't allow you to go quietly, will it? You refuse to go by the rules, even though you know well that everyone in the law enforcement arena is not crooked.
Somebody must have really done you wrong at some point in your life for you to behave in such a manner. Am I right?
1139 Tenacity always gets the fox because the sight of the hen house distracts from the hunter in the shadows. Or, is it the hen in the hen house relying on the hunter who may not be in the shadows.
On the other hand, you're just a wannabe caught up in something that will ruin what little life you think you have.
Riddler is back. Or is it wab's secretary and spokesperson again?
Hey dumbo, a piece of work ain’t no name it’s a activity, dumbo is a name. You said where do you get off with such behavior don’t you know being right gives a person liberties. You my be wide awake but your eyes are still tight shut. If I remember right wab was just as outspoken before the election even went to jail before the election so looks like the election don’t have nothing to do with it. Hey dumbo why didn’t you tell the rest of us what you think about the legal system, even if wab knows we don’t. Come on dumbo educate us. WAB didn’t say every one in law enforcement was a crook only that some are. When rules are wrong why should anyone go by them. Based on your idea of following the rules we’d be as screwed up as Canada and still under British rule. If Patton had followed the rules we’d still be in Europe looking for Hitler. You know on second thought just go on back to sleep at least then you would have a clue of what you’re a doing.
da secy go da poo togedda! You missa one key point - don' matta wheda dumbo is sleep or is wake - he got da trunk styuck in de uppa rear hoe.
dasecretary
If I called you a "piece of work", I am not calling you an activity, although I do wonder about the level of brain activity going on in your head. But you already knew that the term could be used to describe and object, person, or some activity, didn't you?
So, what you are suggesting is that, if you don't like the rules you break or disregard them? Interesting that you would compare what you people are doing here in Giles County to such people as Patton. Even worse, you delude yourselves into believing that you have all the answers and that somehow God and righteousness is on your side. Incredible.
I never said that your hero is distrustful of everyone in law enforcement. But isn't that the rationale you guys use to continue with character asassinations and the like? I think it is. Again, if you have something, turn it over to the legal system, beginning with law enforcement.
Question. If you would willfully ignore and/or violate laws you didn't like, why couldn't anyone else do the same? Why don't you donate your copy of Civil Disobedience to the skinheads or some other similar organization that is "standing up" for their noble cause? Laughable.
"Ye shall be known by what ye are" - 'DUMBO!'
You remind me of Moose-a-leanie - big head with lots of bone & lean on brain. Do you puff your chest up, cock the head upright, & wrap your arms around your gut after each proclaimation, that nobody listens to?
asecretary (aka riddler?)
There you go again calling me names. I fear that your anger toward those who differ with you is going to give you ulcers. I could suggest that you are somewhat "light in the loafers", but I have a little more class than to resort to your tactics.
As far as nobody listening to me, I think even your hero has taken notice, because he is not as busy with the name-calling as he once was. But could that be because he has delegated that part of his "job" to you? Hilarious.
Hey Dumbo, do you ever read what you are writing or do you just ignore the words of others. I said, “Hey dumbo, a piece of work ain’t no name it’s a activity, dumbo is a name”. To that you say, “If I called you a "piece of work", I am not calling you an activity”. Well, that is exactly what you are calling me “something resulting from the energies expended by an external force”.
I said, “When rules are wrong why should anyone go by them”. You tried to turn the whole thing around and said, “if you don't like the rules you break or disregard them?” You also said, “If you would willfully ignore and/or violate laws you didn't like, why couldn't anyone else do the same? I never said anything about rules I don’t like just the ones that are wrong. Wrong is determined by the consensus of the majority or the minority when the rule is no longer able to be tolerated.
I said, “If Patton had followed the rules we’d still be in Europe looking for Hitler”. You twisted that into, “Interesting that you would compare what you people are doing here in Giles County to such people as Patton”. I don’t know who “you people” are it certainly don’t sound pleasant. I never said anyone in Giles County was like Patton only that Patton was more concerned with winning a war than following the rules of some candy civilian. From out of the blue you come up with the illogical idea that “you delude yourselves into believing that you have all the answers and that somehow God and righteousness is on your side”. I never said anything about having all the answers, heck I don’t even know all the questions. As for God, isn’t He everywhere? Well if He is everywhere would He not them be by my side. You said, “I never said that your hero is distrustful of everyone in law enforcement. But isn't that the rationale you guys use to continue with character asassinations and the like?” But Dumbo you did say that in a 25 Dec post at 5:04 when you wrote, “Oh, but you would say they can't be trusted. How convenient. And just because some in law enforcement are unscrupulous doesn't give you license to become the prosecutor!” As for the “character assassination” you speak of I believe an honest examination would reveal it’s more like “character suicide”
You ask, “Why don't you donate your copy of Civil Disobedience to the skinheads”? Sorry I don’t have a copy of Civil Disobedience but I will gladly give you my well worn copy of the U.S.Constitution and Declaration of Independence?
I may be a type “A” personality or was that an A+ but I have no ulcers. I do tend to get a little indigestion when reading some of your postings…. Hey, wonder if there is a connection? Thanks for the compliment about my dancing, being light on my feet have always impressed the ladies.
You say, “As far as nobody listening to me, I think even your hero has taken notice, because he is not as busy with the name-calling as he once was”. How can a person do less of something that he never did. He has not called names only connected names with activities you can take it from there.
You say “Hilarious”; I agree fully, you are one hilariously dumb person.
secretary (or wab?)
I'll agree with you that God is everywhere, but, according to your logic, He would have been right there with Hitler as well. That's exactly what you implied. Incredible.
I am amused that you make such an issue out of semantics and word definition. The point you apparently missed is that lots of words in the English language have different meanings and connotations. But you knew that, didn't you?
I would guess, based on your writings, that you are a definite Type A and left-brained as well.
You say you just don't like the rules that are wrong? Well, who appointed you the great interpreter of what's right and wrong in terms of rules and laws? If you want rules changed or abolished, there is a legislative process that deals with that just as the legal system handles those who break laws currently on the books. Perhaps you need to go back and read again your well-worn copy of the Constitution.
I'll not even go there with you about wab's name -calling. I can think of so many, but you would just "say it ain't so", wouldn't you? Again, hilarious!

To Dumbo (or anonymous)
I’m beginning to wonder if Dumbo is the right name for you. I’m beginning to think Stupidoo is more appropriate. What were you thinking when you agreed that God was everywhere, then laugh at the idea He was in Germany, would that not also mean He is and was in Germany and even Russia? I didn’t mean to imply anything I thought I made it clear of course God was right there with Hitler and even Stalin, problem was they wouldn’t pay any attention to Him. One of the many differences between you and me is that I believe words have meaning and without understanding their meaning they are as easily used to confuse as to clarify. You tend to use words with no meaning just good sounding like your heroine Mrs. Clinton whose ideology you reflect perfectly. Am I better off being an “A” type personality and left brained or like you a “F” type personality and lame-brained.
Gee, I wonder if your advice about rules and laws were offered to Dr. King, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, etc, etc.
As for wab’s name calling it’s like calling a rapist a rapist or a robber a thief, if the evidence supports it then the name is appropriate. I’m sure you don’t want to go there because you can think of so many names trouble is it’s only in your neck, they couldn’t make it to your head as nothing can exist in a vacuum. Now you have even gone so far as to claim wab and I are the same person what a joke but what else could come from a joke.
Maybe the other name was her maiden name?
da secretary..
NO, I would never agree that God is everywhere in the sense that He would be on the side of something evil. You tried to twist it, didn't you? But isn't it interesting, that your hero "sugested" that he is guided by the Holy Spirit and sad that the church I attend doesn't have that. How arrogant can anyone be to say he has the holy spirit and we don't!!! Can you see even the most minute reason for my problem with his behavior? That's a glaring example that you can read for yourself right here on this blog.
Back to the "God being everywhere" issue, I was not the one who said anything about that to begin with. Either you or some other whiner said it, and I think you know that, don't you?
Again, you are wrong in suggesting that mrs. clinton is my heroine. I detest what she stands for and will do everything within my power to help see her defeated at the voting booth. Would you not agree that it is best to use the democratic process to deal with elected officials or political candidates? I'm sure you would, and that proves my point that this process is the right way to go and, more importantly, lawful. I'm so pleased that you and I can agree with this. I mean, you must or else you favor civil disobedience and anarchy. Of course, the only other alternative would be to become totally oblivious to what goes on around us. Right?
There you go again on your defense of wab's name-calling. I have decided there is no sense (casting pearls before swine) in talking to you about his behavior. You are going to defend him, regardless, so why bother? I think you and I both know what the truth is on that, so let's just drop it.
You have GOT to be kidding when you associate your hero with Dr. King, Ghandi, and etc. These great and noble people believed in the democratic process and in peaceful change. They didn't go around trying to embarrass and humiliate anyone who got in their way. They didn't willfully try to harm anyone. Isn't it a little ironic that wab mentioned these same great characters in one of his posts a long time ago? No, I didn't say that you and he are the same writer; I only posed the question. But the irony just mentioned makes me wonder. Or, does he tell you what to think and say? Now that is truly a joke!
836 You need to reconsider the Hillary thing - you are like two peas in a pod. Only difference is: She's up there with Bill, Pelousy, the lobysts, and the Chinese Communists. You're down here in Giles County with us & we ain't got no money or inclination to make you rich or famous! Instead of Black Water in the White House, you're down here in the back waters in the outhouse.
anonymous...
You are so incredibly ignorant of what I stand for, so I'll not waste my breath trying to reason with you. But I will go ahead and say that you are no doubt an embarrassment to the local Republican party. No wonder democrats find it easy, though misguided, to criticize.
To WAB,(or any other interested parties) As I spoke of on previous posts regarding the 5th grade position...It has been filled and was announced according to second hand sources that the teacher in question will be leaving to work full time on a grant; I do have to say that the person I was told was filling the 5th grade position, if my facts and sources are accurate, and I believe they are, is a wonderful teacher and the students and entire school will benefit as a result of this turn of events. (could be a classic case of "what satan meant for evil, GOD will turn around for good.)
Thank goodness...that had gone on too long and too many students were neglected. I'm surprised that the administrator allowed that to happen ........
Why was the "grant-writing" position properly posted for others to apply? Is the teacher that left Southside still going to oversee the afterschool program and earn additional income for that also?
I never saw it posted on-line or any where else. That was probably Jackson way of dealing with a problem rather than actually doing something about it. What about the new coach at the High School it was posted but why do we need another coach? That is another position that is not needed therefore the county has to pay the entire salary. The present coach probably had a buddy who needed a job and ask Jackson to hire him.
1019 & 754 GOOD CHATTER FROM PEOPLE WHO CAN AND WILL HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IF THEY WILL!
The newbody will eat from the same pot of porridge that feeds everyone else. It's a matter of sharing a finite pot of money. That's why there is "NO MONEY"!
It's like 10 little piggies with 10 bowels of porridge. If a bigger 11th biggie pigggie dropped in,is some gonna have none?
Wrong!?? PC Buybull says':_, Liveidiokiss crapture 2, farce 3":_, "Hoseus say, 11 little piggies will love & tell each other stories of positive sharing things when there is just enough porridge for 10, after the 11th biggie piggie is tossed in to see what will happen. One will get fat to prove obesity is dangerous and the initial 10 will go on a diet to see how long they can live on nothing." (until they starve or find another place to eat???)
Progress be changed to value added report card system & measure the success rate of biggie piggie gaining more and little piggies losing more! (More, more, more - -win win! - no way to lose!)
The teacher that left Southside is overseeing the after school program full time now,(which is the position that was never posted), after collecting salaries for both full time teacher and director of after school program for 2.5 yrs. Did neither job adequately. There is no grant writing position, the after school program is funded with a grant that teacher has been given full credit for writing solo, which is not the true case. However she stepped on, maligned and alienated most who assisted with grant writing, in order to make it look like she did it all. Reality is the program would have folded after first year without the others who assisted as she was seldom on premises. When this became obvious, that the program ran smoothly in her absence, she booted the ones that actually had made the program work so that she would receive the full credit. Then brought in another teacher who was not part of the original grant who is now in reality bearing the entire responsibility of the program and doing an exceptional job.
As for the administration allowing it to go on for as long as it did, the majority of Southside's staff wonders the same thing! One can only hope that she was following orders from the hill, although it appears on the surface at least, that the teacher in question was afforded special consideration even if teachers that were doing their jobs to the best of their ability were being stepped on by the teacher in question. If teachers could speak freely, many would back up these statements, not one word is false or hearsay.
Understand about teachers not being able to speak freely and I'm sorry. When it comes time to vote, vote to keep the financial management act in place, your vote at least is private so no one can take that away from you. I'm guessing you might be a teacher so are you aware that your retirement monies havent been getting to the state timely and this causes you a loss on your compounded interest. Vote for the financial act and that problem would change for the betterment of the teachers. Did you know that the private insurances that teachers and other school personnel have been having deducted from their pay has also been going in late so that their insurance coverage lapses? These are more big reasons we need somebody in charge of the finances like Mrs Garner who is a CPA.
Retirement is based on salary and years it has nothing to do with interest. You need to find things out before you start saying things to make people angry. As to other payments being late, I don't know but I'm sure if policies are about to be cancelled that companies would be contacting their clients to tell them they are in danger. Anybody out there had that happen.
The revenue stream that provides retirement DOES rely on interest - That's why they fine organizations with directors who tell everyone the fiftieth time is the first time. Wonder if the fifty first time will quazlify as the first time. We need someone to spontaneously check under the desk & make sure there there's only four legs under it.
7:09 1/6 I sure hope you’re not a teacher and thinking that your retirement has nothing to do with interest. Call the retirement center and ask them. Yes the retirement is based on your salary and number of years on the job but in order to have your retirement check not bounce there has to be real money to back it up. Interest goes a very long way to keep your monthly contribution as low as it is.
While no one has been refused medical treatment that does not mean the policies have not been late in having premiums paid. It’s like the electric company, they don’t cut off the power because you’re a couple of days late, but you have to pay a late charge. It’s when you don’t pay at all that the lights go out.
If people would come forward with statements from their insurance or investments or whatever to prove that they are late then something might be done. It is just like accusing a teacher of having relations with a student, you need to have it in writing with proof. I would love to see a teacher fired that has had an affair with a student but hearsay is not proof. I have heard it but I have not seen it. Surely the students parents would do something. Someone who has seen it with their own eyes needs to come forward with proof not grapevine. That goes for the deductions and for the teacher. Prove it!! PLEASE.
To Anonymous of the 7 Jan 9:32 post.
Do you think a $10,000.00 fine for habitual lateness isn’t proof something is wrong?
Gee, what kind of proof would you require? The School Director and the Board knows who the teacher is and a simple phone call to the DA’s office or to the TBI would launch an investigation. The problem is just like with the fine they are more interested in having things look good rather than having them actually be good. Allen Barrett
The requirement through the teacher's union is that a complaint be done in writing. Mr. Jackson repeated that to you at the board meeting about three times. Did you listen? It has been checked into. No proof. No one knows for a fact or is willing to step forward. Again it must be done in writing. Talk to the parents if you know them and ask them to make a formal complaint in writing. As to the fine, get a report from the retirement system that shows the dates and etc., put those on the table for the board members and give one to the press. You have made so many accusations that have no back up, please get the proof for the board and Mr. Jackson. Rumors are not proof of either one of these.
To 8 Jan 6:45 poster.
Are you saying that these things did not happen or that there is no proof that they happened? I would think that a $10,000,00 fine would not be given without some evidence of violations. Allen Barrett
No one is denying the fine. That it has happened continuously for the last four years needs to be proved. The main thing I would like to see is the teacher/student thing proven. Both of these items need to be stopped. If the retirement money has not been sent in on time for the last four years get a report saying when they were paid and how late they were. The teacher/student needs valid proof not grapevine or rumor. I've heard along with a lot of people but that is not proof. Get the proof of the affair and send it in writing to the board and GCEA. Teacher/student affair is child abuse no matter if the student is in high school or not and the teacher needs to get out of education for good.
are you nuts?? do you really think that kid or parents are going public in this small minded community? Do you know that most abuse cases never see the light of day even if they are both in agreement? or think they are in love?
yes everybody already knows who it is anyway or it least i do but i'm not stupid enuff to go around town saying it to people. think people don't know try asking a few old timers. be surprised what they know about their community & keep under the "covers"!!
If a letter is written to the director by the parents they can ask that their name not be released to the public but the teacher can still be fired. I'm not sure that at this point there is much to hide anyway. Most people at that school know so I'm sure most of the community knows.
Tax payers have a right to know why the payment was late and if any disciplinary action was taken. Will this happen again?
Sadly enough people do not come forward. Spineless, balless, cowardess, saving their job, their family members job, a multitude of reasons, but so much could be done if people would just come forward.
The DA is hot on the trail of several things and advised by the Tn Ethics chairman to go to the State Attorney general. It has been recommended that the TBI be brought in as well. Alot is going on and who knows it just might be coming to a head. I hope Tee Jackson will see the light and save himself some embarassment and resign. I don't think he can continue to place blame on someone else everytime.
If Giles County could elect a superintendent who do you think would run and who would you like to see as a Director?
Call Eddie Bass about our right to vote for Superintendent. Make a visit to the capitol hill and visit legislatures. Be heard.
If you want good ole boys in as superintendent, lets elect them. These (elected folks) guys only make the easy decisons.

What's wrong? Are you not happy with the ones who are being lawfully and properly elected to office? Do I detect a little resentment and jealousy, especially since you are not one of them?
Just because we talk slow down here doesn't mean we are stupid and unable to think for ourselves. I think this county would be a lot better off if a certain few would understand that principle.
103 It ain't just cause you talk slow, you think slow, move slow, and slow to realize you are a loser

Well, why would someone of your `=obviously superior intellect want to live around a bunch of bumpkins like us? Wouldn't you be happier somewhere like Ohio or Muchigan. I understand Detroit is a wonderful place to live. I'm just trying to render assistance.
Should you decide to leave, be assured that we will miss you sorely.
1245 You're just like a hog in a wallow hole - lots of liquid, mud & dung - folks go bye & wave - you think they love you - they're just raisin their hand to close their nose Ever wonder why they never srop & hug you?
Riddler,
Wouldn't you love the friendly atmosphere and wonderful climate of Detroit or somewhere in Ohio or Michigan better than here?
A question was asked. Who would this county like to see as a Director. If Jackson could be thrown out who would be a good replacement? And don't say Braden or Shirey. He's trained them well.
How can you blame Braden or Shirey? You do what you boss tells you if you want to keep your job. They both are people of good character.
"you do what you boss tells you" says it all - the parrot's character is that of the master - If so, there is no character - no good / no bad / lot like sleeping with an inflatable woman
Wow, the Riddler is ever vigilant.
