Mrs. Avery isn't the only person with sense to see that the predictions are coming true. Many others see it, too.
As the new board picks off administrators in the Central Office one at a time, I believe they are hoping Mr. Burleson will give up and quit.
There is too much at stake here - economic development and student preparation, just to name two - to allow the major attractor of industry (the schools) to be put at risk by people who cannot run their own lives, much less a school system.
And that's what THEY are doing - trying to run the system instead of oversee it. They think they are professional educators and competent school administrators. It's Burleson's job to carry out the policies of the board - not Tim and Tracy's.
Mrs. Avery sees it. Nancy Taylor sees it. Hundreds now see it. And now Ms. Norman is trying to manipulate the 2009 election so her 2005 running mate can run with her again. Sickening. But not surprising.
Oh, it just scares everyone that these social elite are on the rise.Talk to thousands who think the board and central office need to be shook up. These people are going to cry in 2010 when Burleson is let go.
Social elite. Just how would you define is socially elite? Someone whose parents/relatives owned a vault company? Someone who lives in a $750,00 house at the lake, owns two houses in town, and is married to a doctor? Someone who owns several rental properties and sells fruit on the side? Someone whose father was in sheet metal, is married to a principal, and is a nurse?
Give us some parameters here. No one should fear a "social elite" unless you are afraid they will speak the truth.
Mr. Burleson knows this bunch won't renew him. That makes John Ervin's charge of an adversarial relationship between the majority and Burleson the truth. Now, doesn't it?
"Pro-administration social elite" = a Burke County resident who meets the following criteria. a, plus one or more of b, c, or d.
a. Is a tried-and-true David Burleson fan, who stands by their man even when it's apparent he was involved in or approved of the East Burke theft cover-up, for example. He can do no wrong, and if he does, he is justified;
b. Is either a member of the Morganton Rotary Club, or friendly with Rotarians;
c. Is a towny, living in the area of the First Baptist Church;
Jealous much? I'll bet you are one of the poor, dirt covered, Welfare grubbing assholes that likes to bitch about everything, but isn't willing to grab himself up by his bootstraps and make his own life better. Want a hand out? Wash your pits, and blow me.
Next time you're in court on your 8th DWI, do us all a favor and take a shower and put on something that covers your arm pits...they smell like an anchovy's cunt. (Not for sharing).
I wonder if the FHS English or Civis departments would consider the literary value of 12:06pm's comments to outweigh its inappropriate content for use in high school classes. Hmmmm... it's a close call. That is a nice piece of work.
God help us all if that blogger is a BCPS employee.
Hey, Judas (ioudas iscariot or ioudas.iscariot)... don't end up like your namesake, ok? You seem like such a nice person.
Matthew 27:3-5 (New King James Version)
Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Burke county will not find any better a man than David B. I would bet that most of the idiots that dislike David are voting for Obama. Then we will not have time to talk about Burke County Schools because we'll be running for our lives.
I have staked my claim to the 30 pieces of silver. I'm just waiting for the axe to fall so that I can collect what is rightfully mine but has been denied to me.

Superintendent David C. Burleson welcomes you to the Burke County Public School System and the system’s website. Mr. Burleson leads the 2,500 plus school system employees as a strong proponent of each student’s worth and as an innovator in exploring a variety of opportunities to reach each student’s potential. Working diligently with all staff, he sustains attention to the components of successful schools – curriculum, school organization, educational philosophies, instructional practices, family and community involvement.

Superintendent David C. Burleson welcomes you to the Burke County Public School System and the system’s website. Mr. Burleson leads the 2,500 plus school system employees as a strong proponent of each student’s worth and as an innovator in exploring a variety of opportunities to reach each student’s potential. Working diligently with all staff, he sustains attention to the components of successful schools – curriculum, school organization, educational philosophies, instructional practices, family and community involvement. He recognizes all of the above as powerful tools in unleashing the power for student success.
A graduate of Appalachian State University with an EDS. in Administration, Mr. Burleson, an Avery County native, high school valedictorian and Magna Cum Laude honoree, came to Burke County in l982 where he began his career at Freedom High School as a math teacher and coach. He served as assistant principal of that school from l989 through 1991 until becoming the principal of what was then Oak Hill Junior High School. He returned to Freedom as principal in l992 and remained in this capacity until moving into the associate superintendent’s position in l996. Mr. Burleson became superintendent in 2000 and has been a pioneer in education from pre-k to grade twelve and beyond. Under his leadership, the school system recently was awarded the prestigious National Magna Award of Excellence for its pre-k mobile education on wheels. His unparalleled list of accomplishments include the following: helped develop the Burke County Public Schools Drug Policy, developed the first PTO at Freedom High School, created summer camps for students, procured millions of dollars in grant monies to address student need/creative programming, and realized alternative educational programs for those who need a different approach to education. Also, during Mr. Burleson’s tenure as superintendent, the county has experienced the lowest drop-out rate in the public school system’s history.
Professionally, he has received local, regional and state Principal of the Year Awards, Burke County Educational Office Personnel Administrator of the Year Awards for four years, 2001 North Carolina Middle School Association Superintendent of the Year Award as well as acknowledgement for several published articles and innovative presentations.
Very active in church and in community affairs, David has a litany of volunteer and leadership accolades including church member, deacon, Sunday school teacher, and active participant in the Morganton Rotary Club, Tar Heel Association of Principals, National Association of Secondary School Principals, Burke County Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, the North Carolina Standards Board as well as serving on several local community boards and committees for a better Burke County.
