The Race will heat up

This year's school board election will prove to be very interesting, again...... The individuals that are currently running will make it so.......ask your own questions, do your own research. The "Sealy News" consistently has positive stories about our district, The "Price" situation seemingly has gone away, will we ever know what transpired? For the masses...probably not. If you are in the know ,you know, without knowing to keep your mouth shut. Does it matter? Probably not. As long as safeguards are put in place and a mandatory method of communication between the school board and future super exists, our community may be able to cut off the attempts by the ignorant to influence our education system. Something to think about.

Pape Pick Potentially Perfect

My hat is off to the board for appointing Peter Pape as the interim super. He is well credentialed and has not spent his life in the vacuum of education or the classroom. Could a new perspective on how the district is run be forthcoming? We can only hope. This was the fiscally responsible thing to do though. Why pay another salary when that money can be spent on the search for a new super?

The R4 group is not making any friends in the district. "The Sealy News" had a very informative piece about the group and to sum it up, R4 is concerned that SISD at the high school level has too many teachers teaching the FAT and not enough qualified teachers teaching the MEAT. Talking about teachers being coachable or uncoachable made me giggle. In Sealy? uncoachable teachers? Eye laugh just trying to put the words on the page. They need to take a look at the uncoachable teachers in the elementary.

The best news is that the focus on SISD is not going away. The resignation of Mr. Price may, in the long run, be the catalyst that really gets quality change to happen. In the process, this blog may have become irrelevant. It matters not as long as good comes of it.
