Bigdog Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Can he do that legally? I know it needs to be done, but doesn't that over step the TEA's authority or their appeals? Quote

thetragichippy Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Can he do that legally? I know it needs to be done, but doesn't that over step the TEA's authority or their appeals? It appears so, and he is helping the TEA.....so, I'm pretty sure they are liking this judge right now..... Quote

Bigcam2903 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Does this mean that the two that filed the petition has more pull than TEA?? Very good job by those two. I'm just asking because TEA came in talking all this Jive & BISD gave them the Business. Two citizens Lawyer up & makes more progress than TEA has. Correct me if I'm wrong. Many on here had the current board ousted as soon as TEA arrived. Not saying any one person knew what the outcome will be, but this current turn of events by these two citizens & a petition has done just as much if not more than TEA has thus far. Still no mention of Dr Thomas or any indication of him being held liable. Too many jumping to conclusions too soon. So what's the next move TEA?? Or should I ask the two citizens?? These two & their Lawyers are pretty Saavy thetragichippy and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote

PN-G bamatex Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 The order has nothing to do with the petition. According to the news, the judge wants to see the names of the Board of Managers who are set to take over before he'll sign the order. I'm a little curious to know why that is. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Administration bldg getting crowded. Quote

Still more buzz than TEAhas stirred. Plot thickens Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 @12NewsSETX: Board president Gwen Ambres tries to call meeting to order but crowd yells out "go home Crooks" &"where's the money" http://twitter.com/12NewsSETX/status/483755127891714049/photo/1 Excuse me but um: LMAO! ROFL!! ! thetragichippy and TxHoops 2 Quote
PN-G bamatex Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Still more buzz than TEAhas stirred. Plot thickens Arguably. A sizable crowd has been seen protesting around Beaumont in favor of the TEA takeover on several occasions. At least part of that crowd was present outside the courthouse in Austin during the injunction hearing. I think that constitutes a fair amount of "buzz." On an aside, isn't there a rule somewhere banning current school board members from running for school board again after TEA has turned the district back over to local control? Or was that something I dreamed? Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Ppl getting kicked out the meeting, they fed up. Quote

PhatMack19 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Chag rescinds his offer to resign. He's staying! BISD should sell their rights to Lifetime and make some of that money back. This is better than TV. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
PNGFan Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I've said all along BISD is way over staffed. Too many employees that can do only 1 job. To be honest if the TEA takes over I can see over 500 job cuts. Quote

As I stated you can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if the 2 citizens have the best Lawyers up to this point. Just my view Sir Doesn't equate to a hill of beans, but anyways Lol Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Just my view Sir Doesn't equate to a hill of beans, but anyways Lol You don't have to have lawyers to start a petition, and I don't recall it being said in the news that the Trevinos had obtained one.They're simply exercising their rights as constituents of BISD. In any case, the only reason it's taken so long for BISD to be taken over by BISD is that the school board voted to appeal the decision in court. Anytime you take up a court case, it takes time. Honestly, if anything, it's surprising it didn't take longer. Quote
Bigcam2903 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Dude I never said you had to have a lawyer to start a petition, it was stated that they were represented. Furthermore, all I was asking is what happened to TEA kicking down BISD's door. That's it, all I was asking jokingly with a little humor is all. Thanks for the insight. Quote
