#1stangfan Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 As a Mustang fan I am sad. I tip my hat to a legend and wish him well! Enjoy retirement Coach Hooks, I will miss seeing you on the sidelines!!
WOSgrad Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 I agree and if I understand it, if they promote from within (i.e. name Coach Thompson to the post) they are not required to post an opening with the TEA. Quite frankly, that course is a no brainer.However, this IS the West Orange-Cove CISD we are talking about and they haven't been known for making real good policy moves in the past. I guess we will see how good the new superintendent is on this one.
KFDM COOP Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 They BETTER make the right one this time!!
Bigdog Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 You know Grad I was about to same the exact same thing, especially about the admins decisions. I do think they have to post the job though even if they have made up their mind to promote from within. I think it is State law, and I know NISD does this from previous experience.
WOSgrad Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Wish we didn't have to wait until May for the board elections to take place.

Bigdog Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 I think he is referring to voting out board members.
WOSgrad Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Correct, bigdog. There are some people who are running who I have much more confidence in than the incumbents that are running...not only on this matter but in most, if not all, of the issues that are currently plaguing the WO-C CISD.One of the hopefuls in our friend here, td.
DP#1FAN Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Best of luck to Coach Hooks! C.T. will do a fine job for the Stangs.
KFDM COOP Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 More on the storyhttp://www.kogt.com/hooks%20retires.htm"I'm 72 and have been thinking about retiring but I know we're going to have a good team next season. It was hard to leave that kind of money on the table," he said.It was said Hooks was wanting to take the money but still coach the football team in the fall and then leave in December at the Christmas break. When asked about that plan Hooks seemed diplomatic in saying, "Wellll, I just think now was the right time." He then said, "I can tell you this, I'll be watching football somewhere on Friday night."I asked if he'll be able to watch the Mustangs play without being on the sidelines. "I plan on being at the Nederland game (season opener) since its at Lamar. After that we'll just have to see."

I know there was a deadline on accepting that package. Does anyone know when that deadline is?[/quote]The deadline was today at noon.

td Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks I appreciate that. The people have an opportunity to speak volumes when they go to the polls. They are either happy with the way things are and will vote to keep the same people in or we can try something different. WOS is headed in the right direction with the new Principal at the high school and the Super. Times are tough for all or most districts. We will get through this and push forward. We have to.

PLUS..... The real kicker is they were offering $100 a day for sick-days not used. Coach Hooks probably has 200-300 of those lying around! That offer expired today.

I wish my district would come close to offering ANY of that for me to leave....( We are being offered nothing and get nothing for our sick days....At this point I have no incentive not to miss the majority of the remaining school days.)
