GoogleDuring their regular meeting, the board voted unanimously to not renew either staff member's contract for the 2009-10 school year. Daugherty, a 30-year employee of the district, has spent the last 11 years serving as principal of West Bourbon Elementary School and is currently serving a one-year contract. Belcher is a third-year, non-tenured science teacher at UHS.
USD 235 Superintendent Randy Rockhold attributed district budget issues, a recent decline in district enrollment and state aid per student, and a weak economy to the release of both staff members.
"I think the world of Marianna," he said. "She's a quality educator. But we have limitations because of funding. It's heartbreaking to have to eliminate staff. I hate it. They do a great job. It's a shame when quality people have to be eliminated. But base cuts combined with losing kids, the problem just compounds itself. Marianna is a good teacher. Brooke is a good teacher. I hate this. It makes me sick to my stomach."
Rockhold added that he and the board had reviewed the district's recent budget situation very closely before researching which positions could potentially be eliminated in order to save the district money in the future.
"We, like all school districts, are facing financial difficulties," he said. "We develop plans to meet our students needs and be solid financially. There's only one issue here; we have a financial situation. We are a small school district and when you talk about releasing a teacher, it's hard. But there are very, very few places a district our size can make cuts."
When contacted at WBE on Wednesday, a tearful Daugherty said she was told last week by Rockhold that the board's intention was to not renew her contract because of district financial problems, but she feels she is being released for different reasons.
"Randy (Rockhold) told me it was a money issue," she said. "I don't believe that. I think there are other ways we could have handled this, and none of those were explored. I feel like this (decision) was made by Mr. Rockhold for personal reasons. He's using the state of the economy as an opportunity to get what he wants. He didn't offer suggestions for how this could be avoided."
Daugherty said that she was also upset when she learned about her possible dismissal through a rumor that circulated through the community a few weeks ago.
During the Monday meeting, several WBE teachers were present to support Daugherty and to urge the board to explore other options for fixing district financial troubles before making a decision to discontinue Daugherty's contract.
WBE teacher Janet Jackson read a letter of support for Daugherty to the board.
"We are here to show our support for Marianna Daugherty," the letter said. "Marianna is a superior educational leader. She has vast understanding of effective reading instruction and good overall understanding of the educational needs of elementary children. Her leadership and guidance have been a main factor in West Bourbon Elementary's success in meeting AYP. The reputation of our school and its teachers can be directly attributed to Mrs. Daugherty's leadership and guidance. We as an educational team feel strongly about her many contributions to our success."
Daugherty, who has spent her entire education career working in Uniontown, served as a teacher in the district for 19 years before beginning her stint as principal.
"I'm really going to miss the teachers, staff and students in the community," she said. "Most of the people in this building are like family to me."
Daugherty added that she soon plans to use her option to speak with the board about their decision to terminate her contract. During that meeting, which would be held in closed session, board members can inform her of the reason or reasons behind their decision to end her contract, and Daugherty will also have a chance to respond. Both Daugherty and Belcher are expected to also receive written notice from the board by May 1 on the board's decision to not renew their respective contracts.
Rockhold said that district officials do not plan to hire a replacement for Daugherty, who will finish out the remainder of the school year. After that, the district will operate with two administrators rather than three. Rockhold said he and UHS Principal Tracy Smith will absorb Daugherty's administrative duties next year.
Belcher, who will also finish out the school year, was not available for comment on this story as of press time.
Note: The nature of the Internet makes it impractical for our staff to review every comment. If you feel that a comment is offensive, please
This is a big mistake...BIG! I think both Mr. Rockhold and Mrs. Daugherty are wonderful people who have done great things for the school. And I am sure that this was not an easy decision for Mr. Rockhold...but I just think that cut backs could have been made in other places...and not to our principal. Mrs. Daugherty will be GREATLY missed, she has been such a valuable asset and any school would be lucky to have her.
The Uniontown board missed the mark on this one. Mr. Rockhold should have been the one to go. Mr. Smith could have assumed the superintendent duties and maintained his role as HS principal.
What a horrible mistake. I am sure there is something else that could have been done. If personal reasons had anything to do with the cut then shame on you. Arent the kids supposed to be your first priority? Why was this decision made so quickly? Why didnt the board take time to consider other options? I think everyone reading this is left with alot of questions. Mrs. Daugherty is a wonderful administrator and thats what should matter, not what Mr. Rockhold thinks personally of her. I feel sorry for the members of the board and for what they must be going through right now. But most of all I feel sorry for all of those kids that will now be without Mrs. Daugherty and all that she has done for them.
To much control for one person. Mr. Rockhold has no business trying to be a superintendent and a building principal at the same time. Why don't they sell the automobile with the leather seats, and all the extras, that only he is allowed to drive. That would give them extra money. Why not cut his salary so they can keep a principal in each building. The school board needs to stop doing everything in executive session and allow the people it truly affects to have a say. Dictatorship will eventually bite everyone in the arse.
This is a typical Randy Rockhold move! This man is one of the most dishonest individuals I've ever seen. Was this personal? Of course it was. 1gorillafan, he is NOT a wonderful person. He has hurt MANY MANY people in his tenure at Uniontown. Anyone that TRULY knows this man knows how he is. This has been going on for YEARS and nothing is ever printed because Mr. Rockhold doesn't want the BAD press to get out. If you want the REAL truth ask all of the many veteran teachers who have left the district ONLY because of him.
Ask Larry Fink, Patty Smile, Jackie Harvey, of Fort Scott. Ask Dennis Davied, Rob Massa, Brad Herlocker of Girard. Ask Lorna Smith, Mrs. Christy or Mr. Rees (?) the science that was rifted (due to budget) only to be replaced by not one but two teachers. Ask Nikki Traul of Pleasanton. Ask the Chad Hays family. All honest people who RR screwed. The list can go on and on. Uniontown USED to be know for it's quality education and quality people. Until the USD235 board wises-up the only thing Uniontown will be known as is a soap opera.
IF THIS WAS DUE TO BUDGET WHY DID THE DISTRICT JUST BUY A BRAND NEW BUS?!?!
If you EVER disagree with RR he instantly regards you as "a negative thinker" and will do everything to make your life miserable or get rid of you.
Oh - Please! Everyone has to expect down-sizing with an economic situation like we have right now. Nobody wants to lose their job....or their coworker...or their boss....etc. Uniontown will always be one of the best schools in the state. Some just feel a need to escalate this week's board decision into some epic-proportion making-it-a-personal-and-dramatic situation. Is it possible that it may just be that there is no money?
Give me a break!!!
Well, educ8or I can appreciate your frustration...and it sounds like you may have your own issues. But I was trying to be tactful. Maybe you should try it?
I'm just stating the facts. It's been far too long that everyone has tip-toed around this man trying no to anger him.
Has anyone wondered why all of these people have left Uniontown......
You know what is most pitiful about this situation? The fact that the students hear and feel the tension already. Then to make matters worse, people use a public forum like this to air their personal dislike for someone. Yeah yeah yeah. I know that is what this is for. However, using a place where the students can read the comments is just causing more upset in the school. The kids have enough to worry about already.
Yes, Mrs. Daughtery will be missed. She is a wonderful educator and an amazing person. Has Mr. Rockhold made mistakes in the past? Of course he has. He is human. That doesn't give anyone the right to take out their frustrations on the school as a whole and that is EXACTLY what is happening here.
Uniontown is a GREAT school with GREAT staff who provide a GREAT education for the students. Mr. Rockhold can defend himself but the students cannot. Just remember, they listen, they hear the comments, they feel the tension and yes, believe it or not, they get onto this very website and view the comments. Those who are attacking their administrators are also attacking their school and the pride they have in being an Eagle. Is that really fair? Think about it...
the fort will trade their supt for uniontowns if uniontown throws in a cheeseburger
Oh my Gosh, why is Mr. Rockhold taking all the heat. What about all the yes,men board members. You should be ashamed of yourself. All of you have children in the school system or have had children who went to school @ WBE. You all know what a GREAT administrator, Mrs Daugherty is and will continue to be. We are very lucky to have someone like her to be working at WBE. What is wrong with you guys. I am a little concern for our school district. Did you weight all the facts in this decision or just go by what you where told by Mr. Rockhold. Going to school in USD 235 used to be a honor. I said, lets get rid of Mr.Rockhold . Once again, Rockhold loaded the Gun and his dictatorship fired it.
You are wrong eaglemom.
Calling out the truth on AN administrator is not attacking the school and it's staff. In my opinion IT IS DEFENDING IT!. Trying to restore the reputation that Uniontown had before RR showed up.
Talk to administrators and staff in the surrounding counties. What RR has done in the past makes him a laughing stalk in other districts. I would be my bottom dollar that 70-80% of the staff feel this man has done more harm than good.
Actually no educ8tor Im not wrong. I do talk to the staff because I AM part of the staff. So I would have to take you up on that bet. I'm not saying Mr. Rockhold is perfect. He's not. Noone is. However, attacking him is not going to change things. It's not going to restore anything to the district. All it's going to do is break the spirit of the students. They know what's going on. They can feel the uneasiness. All I'm saying is think about how the KIDS feel when they hear/read their school being put down. It's not a good feeling as part of the staff and I'm sure it can't be a good feeling being part of the student body.
Yeah, He is human and make mistake. But you learn from them and don't keep repeating them. If you don't get Mr. Rockhold out of there that what going to continue to happen.
Board members need to stand up to him and quit backing down from Rockhold. Just because all your wife work their.
Aneaglemom, You are amazing, do you think the board members and Rockhold was worried about how this would effect the student of USD 235. Apparently not! This was all a game to Rockhold to get his revenge.
Actually yes I do believe they thought about the students. I'm not saying that getting rid of Mrs.Daughtery was the best decision and it wasn't an easy decision. Not for the board members and not for Mr. Rockhold. However, even if this was some sort of "revenge" plot that Mr. Rockhold had planned, do you honestly think that bashing his character is going to help in any way? I don't see where it helps one bit. Well, except to bring out the true nature of some people.
As a sidebar to the reduction in force dismssal of Marianna Daugherty and Brooke Belcher: Brooke Belcher is the daughter of one of Marianna Daugherty's closest friends. Is that just a coincidence? I am wondering?
ANEAGLEMOM, I know excatly who you are and I know who your husband is. And yes, you are going to defend his role in the dismissal of Mrs. Daugherty. I understand why you are trying to get people to see that he was right in being a yes man to Mr. Rockhold. But he has hurt 2 wonderful people in the process, as well as hurt USD#235. I see you posted your last comment at 2:56 A.M. Wanting to understand, the only comment, I have is maybe it is bothering you a little as well.
What happened to all the other comments? There were several last night.
werling for rockhold plus a teacher aide to be named later!
hey where did all the comments go? I could have sworn that there were like 26 or so earlier this morning!
Goodfeelin you are way off base. None of my family have any position on the school board. Nice try though.
As to why I posted at 2 am..no I have nothing weighing heavy on my mind. I am completely at peace. Thanks for the concern though.
I am not from Uniontown or even know Mr. Rockhold.I don't work in the district or have children who attend U-235. I do know people who work in the district and also know that educ8or knows exactly what they are talking about. I also know that Uniontown has lost alot of students in the past few years to Fort Scott. Maybe Mr. Rockhold is not the reason why the students left but I am sure it is why they are losing good teachers.
I have heard that if you don't agree with him then you are on his list to be gone as quickly as possible.Mrs. Daughtery is a top notch educator, she knows how to effectively run the school, she also is well liked by most of her staff. I don't even know her personally but know these things about her. I can't believe that the board at Uniontown agreed with this!!!! If I were a parent in the district I would be very upset, this is not good for the children, teachers or staff. I work in the education field and know that there are other ways to cut the budget without getting rid of Mrs. Daughtery. I have also heard that Mr. Rockhold is going to get a raise for taking on the extra duty of high school principal, does that make sense? Are you kidding me? Something needs to be done about this decision before your district is entirely torn apart. This is not what is best for the children.
Marianna Daugherty was my first grade teacher and has been a family friend most of my life. I owe a lot to her and will always consider her a great educator.I also consider Randy Rockhold a personal friend.
So it's hard for me to take sides but I think this decision will ultimately NOT have a positive effect on the district.
As we can all see by reading the above comments, there are people who are outraged. As much as I might have an opinion on the matter, nobody asked me what I thought before a decision was made.
It was the school board who made the ultimate decision. They were elected by the people of USD 235. Food for thought.
WAY TO GO ROCKHOLD! Rockhold does a wonderful job.
He is there for the students and he cares about there well- being. I had a lot of bad experiences with Daugherty. There should be other teachers that needs to be out the door also, not just at WBE it includes High School to. Rockhold your doing a great job.
eaglemom-
Since you are a staff member and an eagle mom, I pretty much know who you must be. Nearly every other parent/teacher I know in the district feels exactly as I do. You and your husband like to refer to many of those as "trouble makers" huh?
Take off your rose colored glasses. Things were peaceful around U-town before RR showed up and that's a fact. The quality eduction was well known state wide. Dale Dennis spoke the world of the district way back when. So you really think the eduction has improved over the fast 5 or 6 years? If you do your blind.
Most importantly, you still haven't answered my question. Why did all of these quality educators up an leave???? I know all of them and they all left as a result of atmosphere and the way people were treated, and that is a fact. So please tell me (in your world) why they left?
I agree with jej. Mr Rockhold is doing a great job. I feel like changes needed to be made at wbe. I admire Mr Rockhold for doing a great job for our children. GOOD JOB MR ROCKHOLD
I proud to say I am a Eagle Fan. I been a Eagle Fan proably longer than most have been alive. I am sorry to say Mr. Rockhold and the Board Members have missed the mark on this one. Getting rid of Mrs Daugherty was wrong. I can only pray that the ones who made this judgement call. Will be true to USD # 235 for which they were elected. MAKE THIS RIGHT. This is tearing our school district apart. Be a BIGGER man Mr. Rockhold and the Board Members and make this right while you still can.
educ8tor obviously you don't listen or you can't read very well. I stated that I do NOT have any family member serving on the school board. So you must have me mistaken for someone else.
Again, I say losing Mrs. Daughtery will be a huge blow to our district. I don't deny that. What I do believe is no matter what happens, our kids deserve to be proud of being an Eagle and when they read and hear things that trash our entire district, it makes it a little tough for them to remain proud.
No I can read perfectly....you just know you got caught.
Is this NOT your quote:
"Actually no educ8tor Im not wrong. I do talk to the staff because I AM part of the staff. So I would have to take you up on that bet"
Would you like to re-track one of these statements. Evidently you are posting as two people: foreducation and eaglemom.
Foreducation stated that THEY WERE NOT a part of the system. Aneaglemom said they talked to staff because they ARE staff. Which is it?
I'm not an idiot, I can read.
This is my last post on this. I think most people in the Fort Scott & Uniontown communities know ALL or some of these people who left. THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON! (especially in the education world) It just has never been public. Rockhold & THE BOARD have finally been exposed in the paper. Everyone that wants to be honest about the whole situation knows what's been going on.
I'm going to agree that people make mistakes, but only fools continue making the same mistakes over and over. He has hurt more honest good people in the education field because HE knows wants best. BS!
I'm NOT wrong on this. It's amazing you just keep avoiding the question why all those people left..... (sound of crickets)
I rest my case and as O'Reilly says...."You be the judge."
I dont need to re-track any statement. I post as aneaglemom. I AM part of the staff but I do NOT have any member of my family serving on the board. I didn't get "caught" at anything. Perhaps you should stick with your day job and leave the 007 stuff up to the professionals.
I'm certainly done posting on this subject. What is done is done. I am proud to be part of USD 235 and I know that essentially, God is in control.
Best wishes to all.
It was and is a SAD day in the Uniontown school system when Mrs. Marianna Daugherty was nonrenewed. To say that the school district will suffer because of her dismissial is an understatement. It clearly makes no sense to let go of the one administrator in the district who has the strongest curriculum background and expertise. Will the children of 235 suffer b/c of her absence?.....you bet they will. It has been proven that a school system or company is only as strong as the person who leads it. That being said why would a board of education nonrenew the leader of WBE who has managed to lead this building to be one of the best elementary schools around the area? There is no way the person (s) who will be taking over her position @ WBE can even come close to accomplishing what she has accomplished in her tenure @ WBE. That is not to say that they will not give it a try, but they do not have her leadership skills or her expertise in curriculum. This building (WBE) will suffer. It is time that the 235 board members begin to discuss decisions like this and to question recommendations. A continual 7-0 vote on everything that comes their way does not make for a healthy district. Disagreement can be good and can lead to productive outcomes for all. Perhaps the board members need to attend some updated board trainings offered throughout the state. That is not a slam, just a legitimate recommendation. It is so disheartening to see what is going on in 235. The morale amongst staff is at an all time low and this can only have a negative impact on the children who attend school there. Before a decision of this magnitude was made patrons and staff should have been contacted to discuss ways that cuts could have been made. I have faith that these folks could have arrived at ways to cut the budget rather than losing a woman who has given 30 dedicated years to this district. The really sad thing is that she had so MUCH more to give this district. This decision is truly a major loss to parents, staff, and most important of all, the children of 235.
I agree 100% that this decision to terminate a valued and respected administrator was a grave, and disturbing mistake. I agree that the USD 235 BOE acts as if they have no backbone. As stated before all votes are passed as 7-0. Why is this?
This is a very passionate subject. Those who will not speak out publicly, are in agreement amongst those they talk with privatly, that USD 235 is not the proud institution it was several years ago.The overall feeling is that the decisions that have been made, and are currently being made, are not in the best interest of the district, patrons or most importantly the students.
I agree with what vested interest posted, but will go one step further. I would like to suggest that there be an open forum that includes ALL patrons, staff, administrators, and BOE members. This would need to be done as soon as possible.
The forum would need to be well publicized, newspaper, radio, and flyers posted in a timely manner.
Due to the controversial nature of the decision that was made there would HAVE to be guidelines which I suggest could be decided upon by no more then three for, and three against. The Head of the Teacher's Association at Uniontown should be involved along with two other faculty members.
This strong suggestion COULD become a reality if the right person would stand up, and volunter to start the process. I do not feel that anyone of us would want this to become a free for all. This would only defeat any posistive outcome.
A non biased mediator and a non biased attorney would also be a must if this forum would remain productive. A Sheriff's Deputy may not be a bad idea either. As in the Presidential debates there would need to be a time limit set for each question and answer.
If anything like this was to take place the individuals should be provided ample time to meet with the group they side with, and have a list of the questions they want answered, and have ONE spokesperson.
We, the patrons of USD 235, are the taxpayers and should be included in what goes on at our school. This has not been the case. Things need to change in regards to the information patrons receive. We should be privy to all that goes on at USD 235.
Personally I would like to know with the current changes, how will our Chain of Command work? This is very important to the parents of students should there be a problem. At the present point it seems as if it may be somewhat one sided.
Should salaries be public knowledge?
We are the patrons, taxpayers, and most importantly the parents of these children. We have the right to unite and be heard.
LET US ALL STEP UP TO THE PLATE.
Salaries are public knowledge, I believe. All you have to do is ask at the BOE Office.
The patrons got to be a part of the decision making process when they voted these men into office. You trusted your representative with your vote. If you are a patron with a problem you need to take that up with your board representative for your district. It doesn't have to be brought before the public.
These comments have hurt the district's students as much as anything. They are full of resentment, hatred, falsehoods, and the list could go on.
I am not ashamed of the district I teach in because we have some of the best teachers around that do their job because they want to. NOT because an adminstrator leads or tells them to. All these comments will make our lives and the students' lives hell for the rest of the year. Especially those children of the fathers and mothers that you have publicly attacked here.
I was once told that administrators have to make tough decisions, and that those decisions are not always popular, but it is what has to be done. Maybe that is the case here. No one will probably ever know. It is not my place to judge. Everyone will have their judgement day, but it won't be in front of the public; only the Heavenly Father. Put this issue in his hands. Pray, but don't judge. Discuss, but don't slander. We have to move forward.
Teacher235,
I agree with you on some points. Some of the comments posted from several people bickering back and forth needs to stop being posted on a public comment forum. They need to personally contact one another and settle their disagreement in private.
Maybe I have become a dreamer. I believe that all things can be solved with respect for one another no matter the subject. I also believe that at times it is necessary to take extra steps so this can happen.
Mud slinging serves no constructive purpose.
As far as "We" voted the BOE members in, maybe "we," did not vote for the currently seated BOE members.
Financial cuts could have been made elsewhere in the school budget. How many students participate in Golf. Does the cost of the program justify supporting a extra curricular activity that has few participants. How much money from the school budget goes for the incentive programs. It is a sad day when we have to bribe students with goodies to do well on state and national assesments. Where does the money come from to pay for the pizza party and limo drive to Pizza Hut. This privilige is only for the chosen few who sell the most product for the grade school fund raiser? Please forgive me if it comes from the fund raising money. If this so happens to be the case,is it fair to the other participants who sold the product, but not as much?
Educating the student should be the number one reason why a parent sends their child to school, not extra curricular activities which are a great expense taken from the school budget. Maybe the extra curricular activities should be a little more self supporting.
We are in a huge economic crisis. We all feel this to varying degrees. There are many things at school that parents have to pay for, yearbooks, caps and gowns, tassles, and senior pictures. Extra money for field trips, and sports activities,money to provide the lunches for the sports players, cheerleaders, and coaches. This needs to change. This is expensive and not all parents maybe able to afford to continue doing this. Let teh parent's provide the lunches or the Booster Club.
Whatever happened to diplomacy? Whatever happened to freedom of speach? Freedom of speech in a diplomatic manner? Whatever happened to working together, give and take, and meeting in the middle? It is a foreign concept today.
Yes, I have a very strong faith. Yes I pray frequently. Yes I know that only God will pass the final judgement. Yes, I know that God is in control of all things that happen in the universe.
God also has granted uscommon sense, and the ability to know right from wrong. God gives us the good sense to use self control, and the wisdom to do what is right.
IF you are reading this,
Let me ask you is this really going to come down that the kids that work so so hard to be the best in the state they dont get rewarded for doing well???? The fund raising Limo ride to pizza hut are you kidding me? If you really want your child to go on this then you go out and sell the pizza and cookie dough. I can not believe that a grown person is saying that it is not fair that not every kid gets to go on this lol. Life is not fair and kids need to know that they have to help out too. I have 2 kids in this school district and no they both do not get to go every year. We sell enough which is 25 items and one child goes one year then the next year the other child gets to go. As far as the extra curricular activity goes I do not feel that Uniontown is a school that has too many sports or extras for the kids. They are about our children getting an education. Our boys and girls that want to play Baseball or Softball had to get out there and sell things to get play. Which is good but for you to say that we need to take the extra curricular activities that they do have away or cut them why?? Do our children not have the right to play sports on the side that they enjoy? Yes we are in a huge economic crisis but taking our kids sports away is not going to solve it either.
Yes we as the public did vote our board members in so why is that Randy Rockhold is taking all the heat for this. He did not make this choice on his own but yet I see a lot of post on here stating it is ALL his fault. No it is not. He is human and yes he makes mistakes but as a parent of students in the 235 district I am here to tell you that man does care about his kids in the district. He has helped my son a great deal and for that I am truely thankful. His children are probably getting on here and reading what people are saying about their dad. That is not fair to him. He is not the total at fault here. You people need to wake up and realize that. Maybe it was personal but I really dont think it was. I have had several times I have disagreed with Mrs. Daugherty that I contacted Mr Rockhold on and he did side with her. So I do not feel that this was an attack on her.
However with that said I do feel that Mrs. Daugherty should have thought about a lot of things before she said it to parents. She treats a parent like they are nothing and that she is always right. She has also told parents that she will send their child to an alternative school like she has the power to do whatever she chooses. I am not saying she is a bad person or that she does not care about our kids. However I am saying that if you have a child with an issue she is not very helpful when it comes to finding the solution. She listens to whoever the child is having the issue with and if they have been trouble in the past will side with the other person. I think that she stepped on way to many parents toes and now she has to deal with that if this truely was not a budget cut. She is there to help the students and to make good choices. I am sad that it has come to this however it has. Now the people in the town need to pull together and be strong for our kids. This is tearing a school apart. Instead of thinking about the negative how about lets start thinking about how worse it could be. We could be closing our school because of the situation that the economy is in. This is a sad situation for all but bad mouthing Mr Rockhold for everything sure is not going to help. I hope that this get resolved as this is just getting to be a place where people can vent what they think they know as truth. I would love to know if these people are truely even from the district and really know exactly what the issue was when this was done.
YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN......so who do you guys think will win the ncaa basketball tourney?
SPEAK YOUR MIND, is totally right about Daugherty,
she does think she is always right when it comes to someone elses child, if your child does have a reputation in school than if they have a conflict with another child it does not matter if the other child starts it or not, the child with the reputation does not have a chance, he/she is already punished without explaining his/herself, and she does not handle problems very well if she has a problem with a child she wants to send them to another school or threaten them.
MAYBE RR GETS RID OF "BIG FEELIN" CRAP STARTERS WHO DONT TREAT KIDS FAIR. or maybe it was just budget and the highest paid and richest go first. Nobody talks about the good stuff RR has done for that school district, he has wrote more grants and gotten more grant money than anyone for the school district and since he is not "a good ol boy" maybe he doesnt care what your last name is and who you think you are, to be entitled to keep a pud job and do nothing and get paid a bunch. If people pull their kids out of a school district because of the way they are treated by teachers and administrators then the school will shut down. I think alot of educators get comfortable in a position and think they can treat people any way they want. A lot of educators who left U-town left for better paying jobs and thats the only reason. I believe educators should have to be fair and polite to the kids, because when all the kids are gone nobody will have jobs out there.
Well, isn't this all too interesting. Where in the heck is Uniontown. Certainly a one horse town with nothing better to do. Best educational system in the state? Who are you fooling? Lets all toot our own horn.
Students: Work your tail off to get good grades and get the best education you can in a bad situation then get the heck out of there.
Wow, someone just told me what Mr. Rockhold makes. OMG ! Did they all drink his koolaid? Maybe you should look to Jonestown and Jim Jones for answers. lmao
someone's been tooting on something other than horns lately...
