Watching the latest scandal unfold at the Wayne County BOE.

My thanks to those who emailed this blog and gave me the heads up to look at

.

Geez, what a resource.

Lots and lots of local community stuff/info...while some subjects
on there are certainly personal/mean/profane/confusing,
the various BOE-related topics are very informative.

And based on the BOE topic that's on there most recently

I must say ... my, my, my.

Those fellas certainly do stay busy out there at the Central Office.

I don't think this is what the WVDE and Gov. Manchin mean by

"Technology Integration"

Speaking strictly from a technology point-of-view, perhaps we need an in-service presentation to Wayne County BOE employees on the quickly growing problem of

"Sexting In The School Environment"

Evidently, we have some experts on staff.

Oh, and even better, instead of having it here (FREE)

at one of our high schools in Wayne County,

let's see ... let's have it 2 or 3 hours away ... in Lewis County.

And instead of a school, we could have it at the Stonewall Jackson Resort up there.

And have everyone in Wayne County drive 150 miles up there.

Then have them drive another 150 miles back.

And pay them mileage. And pay for their meals.

And pay for them to spend the night. No, let's make that two nights.

There's some Fiscal Responsibility for you.

Our Taaaax Dollars hard at work.

Seriously Folks.....

This is soooooo just the

TIP of a very old ICEBERG.

Can you believe these jokers have the nerve

to still continue this money-pit, three-day-long shindig at Stonewall Jackson?

Resolutions:

To See To it That:

• The Wayne County Board of Education holds Superintendent Gary Adkins and Assistant Superintendent Mike Rutherford and any other Central Office personnel who were involved, accountable for their role in the multiple instances of nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance as regards questionable payments to and multiple incidents involving Todd H. Thompson, former Network Administrator for Spring Valley High School and son of long-time Wayne County Board of Education Member, Rodney Thompson, D. C.; specifically requesting that Mr. Adkins' employment be terminated, and Mr. Rutherford's employment be terminated.

• The Wayne County Board of Education re-examine all positions, new or existing, that have been filled under Mr. Adkins tenure with close scrutiny as to improper procedure, lesser qualified personnel chosen over more qualified personnel and also, particularly, creation of unnecessary positions.

• The Wayne County Board of Education fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards of the public funds with which they have been entrusted and drastically reduce Central Office personnel and associated costs;

1. thus allowing necessary teachers to be provided to all of the schools that have begged for them over and over, year after year, only to be told there is no money
2. thus allowing necessary supplies, equipment and classroom materials to be provided to all of the schools that have had to do fundraisers all year long to purchase things that should have been supplied by the school system, only to be told there is no money
3. thus allowing necessary maintenance, repairs, and replacement of heating & cooling, bathrooms, roofs, ovens, intercoms, phone systems, security systems, doors, etc. that schools have requested, only to be told there is no money

My apologies for my absence from blogging. Family issues with the illness and passing of my mother-in-law. A dear, sweet, loving person - never complaining, no matter what she endured. We will miss her.
