Leadership or those in charge rather make it near impossible for you to believe and trust in them. I won’t follow who I don’t deem trustworthy. And that’s why nothing gets changed for the positive ……..

Listen to “Employee Says”! The blogger “Molly” is a psycho, but fortunately not a very smart one! Check out my comments, as well as others, on the “Dis-connects-Finally” and Jr Martinez” story in the Weekly. Molly posted the same comments on these stories! Molly is a hired gun for Dansby and Needham! Do Not email her, b/c once she gets your info, she will identify you to Dansby, and out you go!

To all concerned Teachers and employees of FWISD. DO NOT listen to this psycho if you value your job. It is a trap to identify you. Sounds like a Reyna/Bull idea.

I have been following the comments posted on all FWISD related stories for some time and although opinions differ the common thread is a dissatisfaction with our school district and belief that its governance is in the hands of of those who put their own personal and political agendas first and have gone unchallenged for far too long. If you are interested in coming together as a community to figure out how we can take control of our district back, please email me at missmollyfw@yahoo.com. The next election is a year away, let’s be prepared.

bottom line, board members should not serve more than 8 yrs. they are not for the future, they are for the past. they haven’t a clue what this generation needs. why must we punish the children? children are sacred and God is watching. a line from the movie the Help: ain’t you tired yet, Ms. ____?
Near the end of The Help, the African-American maid Aibileen asks Mrs. Hilly, easily the most prejudiced woman in her circle of Jackson, Mississippi housewives, “Ain’t you tired yet?”
please look in the mirror and ask yourself- is this what God wants?

Spending is out of control; the Black Community has no representation on the Board. Moss and Sims blindly follow the $$$$ – the direction of Judy Needham. Everyday that the lawsuits continue, damages increase, And who will have to PAY those damages? NOT the FWISD Board. We the TAXPAYERS will! Those people should have been allowed to return to work a long time ago. This is an attorney’s dream!

Monday’s Board Meeting will be a historic event. Will racisim under the guise of “picking the best” usurp common sense and fair play? We are witnessing first hand that in spite of a new minority Super, Needham continues to control the Board and District. Latinos must lead the way in demanding change. Mary Bull should NEVER have been hired. If Williams were a mere Teacher, he would be long gone. We have no leadership. The wastful spending continues; lawsuits continue; there is no transparency, I am tired of Board Members screwing up and then hiding behind attorneys paid for with tax dollars. Connects, Munis, AHHS, retire/rehire – NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Clean house! End the lawsuits! Get us focused on CHILDREN again. Funny that the very person meant to keep the District under control, Judy Needham, is directly responsible for the growing outrage and demand for change.

Oh yeah “Insider”, forgot to mention $ wasted on Connects and pending lawsuits! Wasn’t it in the multi-millions for Connects? Wonder how much Dickerson and MJ gained from that deal, which they forced down everyone’s throat! Now that connects will be phased out (Thank God), hopefully the new system will be what they are promising! I still have a problem, as I mentioned on another article about connects on the Weekly; I find it convenient that Dansby is making a big decision to scrap Connects now, instead of December (30 days after he gave Tyler notice). It feels like Dansby is throwing employees a bone, considering his butt is under a heat lamp right now! Still, this does not divert my attention from the REAL issues of corruption, fraud, waste of taxpayer $, bullying and so forth!

Btw, can anyone tell me if they have heard from the Dunbar mother and how her son is doing? Or if she ever went to the DA and started an investigation? Seems like it all quiet down too quickly, yet Betty mentioned the nipple pincher again in her article. Just wondering!

In response to BB–as far as the attendance rules go-they need to make some changes. We actually had dr’s notes. When I went up to his school to get the dates that they “needed” to have the dr.write a note I asked If I could get their fax # in case they were with patients. The response I got was -no you need to get it now. When I told her if she’s busy I’m not going to pull them away from a patient I was told the I will have the principle call the drs. and make them do it. I was in shock. I lucked out & the nurse was available. Went back to school dropped off the drs. note. I got a call about 20 minutes later saying the note “looks shady” because they forgot to put the yr. on it. I truly believe this was all done because I went over their heads. It’s BS & I will be so happy to be done with FWISD in a few months! I would still like to make changes though.
