BISD STILL STEALING

[ozensfinest]

As a Business Exec, Businesses will not expand to the Beaumont area with all the negativity coming from BISD. Trust me when I say this!! My company is one of the highest tax payers in Jefferson Co. and their has been discussions the past 6 months of reducing our role in this area.

Ohhh thats what your gripe is about, your company? Lol you guys sit on here and act like you're SOOOOO concerned about the kids. Tell us the REAL reason you want a new board. 

[ozensfinest]

and at the end of the day (June 14) that will no longer be the case. ;)

 

You said that there would never be a takeover and "they" were untouchable. :rolleyes:

 

Anyone who knows how the system works knew that the takeover would not happen immediately. TEA has to allow for an appeal process and time to appoint a team of managers and new sup.

 

I would have expected a person with your "fine" education to know this. :rolleyes:

 

BTW, why did that "fine" education that you received free from a highly respected and honorable institution only land you a sub job at BISD? ;)

Maybe because it's something to do while I work on my masters  ;) and I never claim to know the ins and outs of how the TEA take over works. What I do know is that BISD Supt. and board of trustee's are still in charge of BISD.

Because they are horrible at financial controls....which do effect the kids.......

It should not take over paying a contractor by 3.4 million and having 4 million stolen by the guy in charge of finance to realize you have a problem........and starting to react AFTER the TEA and FBI step in is comical.......

No, the Millions of unaccounted fund's that are missing from the BISD tax payers and students of BISD. The lack of any oversight by the current administration and board. Why did Lambert retire so quick?

[fox]

I'm not saying that you're saying, I'm simply asking you who said that I wanted to be a teacher? I'm simply just a permanent sub. 

for someone who is suppose to be in class teaching kids you sure do spend a lot of time on the computer during class time.

[BMTSoulja1]

I personally never liked the idea of Lambert being in administration from jumpstreet.... I'm glad that she's gone....

Lol so do you

[AggiesAreWe]

Lol I'm a sub dude

 

So a sub does not teach in BISD?

[ozensfinest]

So a sub does not teach in BISD?

I'm pretty sure you're aware of what a sub does in any school district. They simply fill in for teachers that are absent, pass out assignments that's left for the students and monitor the students. Petty much? Lol

And I'm on my phone actually lol

[westend1]

Ozens,  do you really want that board to stay in control, or are you just poking?   Who do you think should be held responsible for the millions that were lost?  I understand that crooks are always looking for a way to steal, but don't you think SOMEBODY should have noticed  when the theft hits 8 million?

My wife is a 25 year tenured school teacher, I know exactly what is expected of substitute teachers. Not all subs are considered "student sitters", particularly "permanent" subs like your self. ;) :rolleyes:

 

Maybe it's a BISD thing.

Yeah maybe it's just a BISD thing

[Bigdog]

With the "new guy" supervising (he has the power to veto ANY decision made by board or sup) you can bet the decisions made by the lame duck board and sup will be a bit more "carefully decided" than in the past. ;)

 

Exactly.  The board is not the final authority on anything now.  The conservator has veto authority on any decisions.

Ohhh thats what your gripe is about, your company? Lol you guys sit on here and act like you're SOOOOO concerned about the kids. Tell us the REAL reason you want a new board. 

You can stick you head in the sand and turn a blind eye to this situation.  There is so much to be said about this, but in doing so, I will be totally misunderstood and taken out of context!!!

You are really clueless as to how economies work in the real world.

It's really pretty simple

New business = jobs = increased population = increased tax revenue = more money for schools to spend teaching kids!

[ozensfinest]

Ozens, do you really want that board to stay in control, or are you just poking? Who do you think should be held responsible for the millions that were lost? I understand that crooks are always looking for a way to steal, but don't you think SOMEBODY should have noticed when the theft hits 8 million?

To be honest I could care less I have no kids in the school district and don't plan on becoming a teacher in the near future. So it doesn't directly affect me. I just like to antagonize those who pretend to care about a school district one in which they don't have kids attending and those who don't live in the Beaumont community. I just want those to expose the true reasons they are concerned with BISD. Is it because some are tired of seeing the school district run by black people or is it because business's are failing? Let's be honest most of the complaints I heard after listening to the teleconference was about race and people's businesses losing money. No one really cares about the benefit of the children which is the saddest part of all this mess.

If I'm not mistakening the economy in the US is bad as a whole correct?

I've been in this area since early 90's and I can remember the population of Beaumont not changing too much. Sometimes people love to throw smokescreens at you.

Exactly, the population of Beaumont ain't getting much bigger than it already is miss me with that nonsense.

The oil & gas industry is doing ok. Go try to buy a house in Houston right now. Houses are getting 15 offers in the first few days of being listed.

Is that a good or bad thing? I'm thinking about getting into real estate lol

[PhatMack19]

Good if you are getting the listings, bad if you have buyers that can't pay cash for a house. Houses are going for $40-$50k above list price with cash offers winning out most of the time.

Awesome, thanks for proving a point

 

This is the problem with Beaumont and one of the reasons I am not there.

 

The problem with the school district has NOT been because black people run it......it has been because of  mis-management, dishonesty and personal agenda's and that people in charge do not care about the kids..... 

 

Maybe it's time we change that.......
