Story Sends Wrong Message to 10th Graders

Story Sends Wrong Message to 10th Graders

Props to David Barnard for dropping this gem

"David Barnard said redeeming value is subjective, and that the book’s acclaims should not be taken into account, such as its Book of the Year award from the San Francisco Chronicle.
“That in itself tells you it must be a pretty wacko book because that’s a pretty wacko center of the universe,” Barnard said.

My apologies to San Francisco and Burke County, you make us look like idiots.

Need some help

Heather Sanders recently published an article about the pay of Central Office Administrators

School board member questions pay, days off
Are some central office staff entitled to both?

What struck me as odd is this quote from the article.

Board member Tracy Norman said she doesn’t believe these employees are receiving their full compensation.

Looking at Tracy's previous record, school board not criminal, where she voted not to renew contracts of many Central Office administrators, it is hard to beleive that she is now concerned that they didn't get the right pay/bonus days dating back to 2001.

Would someone who understands this situation leave a comment and I will turn it into a post?

Rename school

Morganton News Herald
Tuesday, December 18, 2007

I thought I had said my last about the name of the new high school, but since we have a new school board committed to the kids rather than their own greed and under the table deals, I will make my final appeal.

Last Friday, I walked up to the gate where the new high school is being built and as I looked at the progress being done I could not help but notice the beautiful mountain view as you look down at the school.

Say what you may about the neighboring industries and wastewater treatment plant, this school is going to be in a beautiful location (the traffic issue will need to be dealt with soon however.)

The comment I made to myself is a school with this type of scenery needs a more appropriate name.

The football stadium would be a great place for the people to honor the memory of Jimmy Draughn, but the kids need to have a name that more fits a high school. I thought of Mountainview High at the moment, but my point is, is it reasonable to revisit the issue of the name of the high school by the new school board, or is this just something we are going to have to live with?

I still get fired up thinking of the political shenanigans the previous school board used to come up with the name. If enough people agree with me, maybe the new board will listen. If anyone shares my views, please let them be heard.

Nov 16th Editorial

In the November 16th paper edition of the News Herald there is an editorial titled, "Left up to some of you, super, assistant wouldn't have jobs"

Here is what the editor chose to publish...

"Begin thorough, un-announced financial audits"

"Eliminate David Burleson and Randall Brackett"

"...Procedure for randon drug testing and would like faculty and staff to be included in drug testing"

"New football coach for FHS"

"Fire Randall Brackett"

"Fire David Burleson"

"Fire Steve Demiter"

Teachers need to be tested for drugs and fire the administrators. This chicken little, the sky is falling bullshit is getting old. I have come to learn that the news herrald doesn't let facts get in the way of thier agenda.
