Give me a break - how many more excuses do you have for them? More than you have baseless insults. |

I wouldn't count on that! I think we can come up with a LOT of "baseless insults" as well as plenty with true merit. ;D

Arch- It is quite obvious that no matter what anyones opinion is - even if it is based on comments from the SB president & super.- you give them a pass and all is good. Well I think you need a major reality check. Maybe you should re-read the article that started this thread.
I am only giving my opinion on what M2 has stated and quite frankly, it is a MESS!

blankcheck, yes.. it's a mess right now. That's a given.
Other than making the poster feel good about venting, please explain how any of the ranting or raving helps?

I would agree with you, blankcheck. I don't know how Arch can stand there and still continuously support MM and the SB. This is a MESS - no doubt about that. Now, let's see how it can be fixed!

You're upset that I don't join in with the childish mudslinging thereby giving those doing it an endorsement that it's OK to do? I think it's rather juvenile behavior. Like it or not, they are the SB. I'd rather work WITH them than try to paralyze a school system by working AGAINST them. One attracts more flies with honey than with vinegar. |

Q. Do you have any idea what you've spent so far on the legal process?
Metzger: I haven't asked (Dave Holm, assistant superintendent for business) but I'd be surprised if our costs are over $1 million.
You can not tell me that he has no idea what they have spent so far. Attorneys send bills - billable hours. As the president, he should know where every $ is being spent including attorney fees.

Do they send it to the SB president or do they send it to the Accounts Payables department? How much were your nails for your house? |

Work with them? How? All they call for is closed door sessions regarding the matter. Again - $$$, closed sessions and little information is not a good mix.

We are not talking about nails Arch - we are talking about the accountability of 124+ million dollars.

When was the last time you scheduled an appointment to sit down and talk with anyone on the inside at the Administration? It's pretty easy to do. It's entirely possible that what you want to talk about they are not at liberty to discuss publically yet, but you can schedule times to meet with the particular people for certain issues that you would like to voice or talk about. They'll even find you the best-fit person to sit down with. I've done this in the past on a few occasions about certain things. The most recent one was by just emailing the SB, then from there it was directed to the appropriate person, I was CC'd and they contacted me and I went over there in person to discuss the matter and find out about how things are done that I was not sure about. They're very approachable people, I've found. |

Give it up, Blankcheck, Arch will never recognize how wrong this whole thing is. Arch is the one giving the SB the blank check! That's definitely NOT the way I do business.

We are just venting arch. Actually at this point they should just tune eveyone out and get it done. Let the chips fall where they may. If people are still pi$$ed at op ref time, cut extracurriculars. Vote in new board members. See what happens then. eta - ok can I get in just one more dig? We are mudslinging because we are trying to climb out of the ditch but keep slipping back. It's not intentional. Ok I'll stop. |
