2010 Board of Education Member Appointment
03/01/10 at 9:54pm
 
I attended the Hoover City Council meeting tonight.  
 
Right after the Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance, Mr. Ivey announced that applications for the 2010 Hoover City Schools Board of Education appointment would begin to be accepted starting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 2, 2010.  Mr. Ivey indicated that interviews of candidates would begin around the end or March, beginning of April and that the appointment would be made at the end of April.
 
He said an official schedule would come out tomorrow.
 
There were two proclamations at the meeting regarding the schools.  The first was for the Hoover High Wrestling Team for their State Championship (the team and coaches were there to be recognized by the mayor and council).  The second was for the NEA's Read Across America.

Speaking of the wrestling team I'm courious to know if there was any mention of the head coachs alleged inappropriate relationship with one of his wrestlers moms. Allegedly resulting in the divorce of the parents and the quitting of two brothers one of which was a returning state champ.. Or is this something elese thats going to get swept under the rug.. Looks like we might have another Propst in the making..

Way to stay classy, in the know!  Is it true that the song by Bob Dylan "Positively 4th Street" was inspired by you?
 
Back to the topic at hand (since thread jacking is frowned upon), does anyone know who might be running for the board this year?  Is it not Mrs. Frazier who's rolling off?  Has she alluded to running again?

Mrs. Frazier's term is expiring.  She will have completed her five-year term at the end of May.
 
The next term begins June 1, 2010.  It is a five-year term.  
 
There are many folks reading this forum that would make EXCELLENT board members.  Please consider this option if you have the time to give.  Serving our school community as a board of education member is the highest level of service you can give to the children and families of our school community.  We need great people to step up and serve.

I'm sorry AKA but if I'm not mistaken the Hoover wrestling team and it's coach were honered at the board meeting for winning state. I simply brought up the fact that there has been some realy bad rumors going around about the man and his involvment with one of his kids mothers. For a fact I know 2 wrestlers one a returning state champ both quit the team.I also know there was a big meeting between the athletic director and all the parents concerning the issue. I just Figured you as well as another lady on this forum being the champions of the students and the poor teachers and of those to scared to speek on ther on behalf would want to get to the bottom of this matter. Instead of worring about who the next board member that your going to get to vilify is going to be, Maybe you should focus your attention on things going on in the here and now....Sorry but now you've made me thread jack. On another note have you ever been tested for bipolarism..

First, no, I have not been tested.  Perhaps one of your co-workers would like to do so.  Or perhaps you would, though you're probably too busy checking out rumors.
 
Speaking of rumors, if you're so knowlegeable of what happened on that wrestling team, here's a number and an e-mail address of someone you should contact about it:
205-325-2118
 tray@bhamnews.com
 That's Tiffany Ray of the Birmingham News.  I'm sure she'd love to write an article about it.  Coming from an "inside" source like you, it would probably carry a lot of weight.  So, in the know:  Put up or shut up.  I don't think you have it in you to go further than this forum.  Then again, you don't have it in you to do much of anything, which has been your MO for decades now.
 
I'm into lyrics today, ITK, and just ran across this song that reminded me so much of you.  It's called "Take the Money and Run" by The Steve Miller Band.  The verse that reminded me of you:
 
Billy Mac, is a
detective down in Texas
And though he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna
let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of other people's taxes

 
Ironic, isn't it?

According to YOU, you are "in.the.know", you have implied since day 1 on this forum that you are on the "inside", therefore I must deduce that you are paid by the taxpayers.  In other words "living off other people's taxes".
 
Who you are exactly, I have no idea, and frankly I don't care.  I know if I were your boss and saw what you were posting here, you'd be fired.  On the spot.
 
I'm really, really sorry that I was baited into this exchange with you because you have successfully hijacked this thread, which is a shame.

Thank you in the know for proving that AKA does not know what he's talking about. Clearly if he did he would have rose to the challenge you set before him and named you. In his earlier comments he clearly acted like he knew your true identity and I quote   "Then again, you don't have it in you to do much of anything, which has been your MO for decades now".Maybe this is some kind of attempt at intimidation.I'm not sure but I think AKA could learn something from an old saying my daddy used to tell me, It's better to keep your mouth shut and let every one think your an idiot than to open it and take away all doubt. Thanks for bringing the coaching situation at the high school up as my son participates in the youth wrestling league. I'll be looking in to this to see if there is any merit behind these rumors..

Thank you AKA for making my point you have no idea of who I am. FYI I do work for the city I have not done so for even one "DECADE" much less "DECADES".I also live in Hoover and have for "DECADES" so I wonder does that make me self-employed? if I go by your reasoning and I live in Hoover and I pay taxes in Hoover than yes,yes I am most definitely self-employed Heck!!! if thats the case and it's all the same to you instead of firing myself I think I might l just give myself a raise, after all it is my tax money...

To the Admin, could you please move the posts about the wrestling coach to a new thread?  This certainly does warrant discussion by any who might have information or want more information about this.  I've seen posts moved before, and perhaps this would be a good one to move?
 
In.the.know, this obviously means a lot to you.  You don't appear to be intimidated about speaking out, and I would strongly encourage you to move forward and contact the news media.  Often, the media are the only ones who actually have the power to make an issue out of something.  I would have hoped that other parents in the organization would be willing to help you, but it doesn't appear they have the courage that you do.  Reporters often work with "anonymous" sources if they can verify the information through a known source.  A phone call to Ms. Ray would certainly get the ball rolling.
 
Good luck.

I know absolutely nothing about this situation, but would like to make a general comment. I hate affairs and I don't like what divorces do to kids. BUT, I don't think there is any school policy that would prevent an employee from having such an affair, and unless an offensive act is committed on school property and/or on school time I don't think the school has any business getting involved here. Someone please correct me if such a policy exists.

No, there is no school policy against having affairs.  It is morally repugnant, but the only judgment adulterers face is the Final Judgment.  There are no social consequences.  There aren't any legal consequences.  This is a social ill that is ruining our country.  And that's all I'm going to say about this.
 
The only court is the court of public opinion.  Which is why, if in.the.know wants to make this an issue, the media is the only outlet.

As a parent of a future HHS wrestler, I DO NOT want this man to "coach" my child.  Whether an affair is in some rule book or not, it is nasty and students should not be around someone like this.  The children are the ones who are always disregarded for adult pleasure and ego.   I know many parents have tried to get rid of him.  Yes, HHS won the state wrestling championship, BUT it is the wrestlers that did the work.  The coach was obviously "busy" doing something else and taking credit for what the students accomplished.  He should be ashamed, do the RIGHT thing for a change and resign.

I suspect I know who the 1 application is from, and I hope the CC tosses it out and continues down the path of improvement that they started 2 years ago.

Four people.  Thank you to those who put their name in the hat.  It takes good people willing to step up into public positions to affect change and to maintain excellence.  
 
At least it won't take long for interviews!
