Well, well, well. What do we have here in Cypress-Fairbanks?????

[SFA85]

Looks like the fine people of Cy-Fair also did the unspeakable.  They named their brand new stadium after a sitting superintendent.  Wow would you imagine that........

[b]Richard E. Berry was announced as the namesake for the Educational Support Center in October 2002.

The Board of Trustees of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD) voted unanimously at its October 15, 2003 meeting to name the district’s future multipurpose educational center in honor of superintendent of schools, Rick Berry.

The Richard E. Berry Educational Support Center (Berry Center) was approved as part of the $470.5 million bond referendum approved by voters December 8, 2001.

The announcement was made to the surprise of the superintendent. “There are no secrets in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD – that was true until tonight”, Berry said, joking lightly after the Board voted 7-0 to name the facility in his honor. “This is an absolute honor. I am truly at a loss for words.”

Berry earned his Associate of Arts degree in business from Weatherford Junior College in 1965 and his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from North Texas State University in 1967. He later earned a Master of Education degree in counseling from Hardin-Simmons University in 1971.

With 35 years in public education, Berry began his career in education as a high school teacher and coach in Roscoe Independent School District in 1968. He moved to Arlington Independent School District (AISD) in 1971 where he served as counselor, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent and deputy superintendent before he was named superintendent of schools in 1988. He was named superintendent in CFISD in 1992 and held that position until he retired in 2004.

I see that Mr. Berry retired before it was built. Why didn't Butch do the same? ;D

Does "Butch" have an athletics background?

Don't know.  All I know is, Mr. Berry's name was voted on and approved 7-0 while still working for C-FISD.........

Maybe Berry was well loved by all, where clearly, Butch isn't.  As i said earlier, it will blow over, but it was still a bad idea, especially with all the South Park mess going on now.

Well he was loved enough by the majority of the board.  I believe the vote was 5-1.  Btw, are you going to whine about his name being on all the new construction along with the school board?  CBT will be all over Beaumont including your precious West End.....

Yeah, whatever.  You, my boy, are a fool if you think I care one way or another.  i just said it was a bad idea to stir up controversy at this time, and naming it Beaumont Stadium would have caused none of those hard feelings.

Far from a boy Westender.  At the end of the day, CBT is the name of the stadium.  You don't like it, move....

Learn to read, southender.  I DONT CARE.  Some do, so it was a bad decision.  Bad for the board, bad for the community.  Your posts are just proof of that.

Stone's throw from WB aka Forest Park but I'm a solutions oriented person.  If this little coup de tat goes through, I propose everybody that looks like me remove their kids from Forest Park so everybody that looks like you can be happy.  And then, y'all @Forest Park can continue the storied winning tradition y'all had up until '82....

Oh yeah, that's right, y'all didn't have a winning tradition.....

Wow! Where did all of this come from?  Westend1, how did you know 85 is from the southend? I though he was from El Vista, PA.  Also, I was raised from the Southend and I can read.  ;D ;D 
CF, I think Westend1 wasn't really whining.  He was stating that he would rather the name of the stadiun to be a different name, but ohh well, no need to cry over spilled milk.  That's pretty much how I feel about it.
