Dear Mrs. Snow

Please shut the fuck up and get your own blog.

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

From the comments:

Has anybody seen or heard from Tracy Norman lately???

A district court judge on Tuesday placed a temporary restraining order on Burke County Board of Education member and local businessman Tim Buff.

Yeah, that same Tim Buff.

Buff's wife, Charlotte, sought the restraining order at the same time she filed for divorce.

That's D-I-V-O-R-C-E !

He has served on the school board since 2003 and is a past board chairman.

"It's a new day for Burke County Schools."

Probation

The SACS CASI response letter was received August 25, 2009. A copy can be downloaded by clicking here. The SACS CASI response will be an agenda item for the September 8, 2009 Board of Education meeting. Concerns and strategies for addressing the items outlined in the letter will be discussed at the meeting.

What's that smell?

Oh! It's just Rob shoveling more shit.

Check out the Sunday News Herald for his letter to the editor.

Pointing Fingers

"If folks want to wonder about how our school system has been operated. (Pointing his finger at the crowd) Right here is how its been"

-Tim Buff blaming the public for how the school system has been run.

"Look at yourself in the mirror" (wagging her finger or pencil at the crowd)

-Karen Sain

Karen and Tim,

Stupidity is better kept a secret than displayed.

PS Any comments will automatically be emailed to Tim and Karen

PSS Yeah right Karen, your ring is too small.

I fuckin' told you so

My first post

The election results are in and burke county has made a huge mistake. Taking new seats on the school board are Karen BRITTAIN-sain, Rob Hairfield, and David Barnard. Tim Buff is back to his old seat, so expect the same old tricks.

We are looking forward to seeing these screw ups try to run a school system.

Budget passes 4-2

http://www2.morganton.com/content/2009/may/14/4-2-vote-passes-next-years-school-budget/news-local/

So we cut the budget and a LOT of jobs but we increase legal fees to pay for TnT's arrogance and and egos?

Welcome Schwartz (Updated)

Please welcome Richard Schwartz as the school boards new special counsel. Schwartz was recently reprimanded by the state bar for failing to divulge key details in a separate school district's sexual assault investigation. Also, WCNC asked to speak to him after the latest meeting, he agreed. Instead of talking to them he bailed out the back door.

So welcome Dick! You'll fit right in.

In other news, we found out that Tracy reads the Blog! Be sure to leave her a nice comment

UPDATE:
It also appears Schwartz was hired to Clayton GA schools, the first district to lose accreditation. He got their new Superintendent a $285,00 yearly salary, an addition $2000 per month for living expenses, and a body guard.

Plus, he was hired by Pamlico County Schools when Rick Sherrill was Superintendent.

Barking in Burke link

The school board is about to launch a BURKEwide search for a new Superintendent. How much do you think Slick Rick in going to bring home?

Looking to Expand

"Ignorance is curable through teaching and learning. Stupidity is terminal because no amount of teaching can cure it. And I am ashamed of the fact that members of our school board are just plain stupid. Why are they refusing to see what has been so adamantly paraded before them? Do they not have children in the Burke county School System? do they not care for our children's future? Why won't they give a reason for all this? Are they still trying to make one up? "

Wow it has been nearly two years of dealing with this stupidity.

We are looking to expand!

The tentative agenda

Tracygate

"Burke County Schools Superintendent David Burleson thought he'd put to rest any questions about his on-the-job performance by opening his confidential personnel file.

Instead, his action Friday opened more questions than Burleson expected.
The file contains none of the school board's annual evaluations of the superintendent since Burleson took over the job in 2000."

"We cannot accept any apology until we know exactly what has happened, because an apology may not be enough. If he in any way knowingly read and sent racist e-mail, we must call for his resignation."
