By the time I got back home from my Mother&#8217;s I was thinking about the unpleasant detour the School Board is making me take. Its all very, as my Grandmother would say, provoking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not been able to get into my School Board email for a couple weeks now because the District has been changing the system. I gave Art Johnston a call when I got back and the first thing he asked me was if I&#8217;d seen my recent email. Evidently the Superintendent sent me a caution against saying things that were part of the District&#8217;s secretive deliberations. Boy was that a message doomed to be lost on me. I hate our Star Chamber process.<\/p>\n<p>I told Art I hadn&#8217;t but you, dear readers, can be reasonably sure I&#8217;ll put the email up on my blog when I get to it.<\/p>\n<p>Our conversation moved on to two people our District has punished in the Star Chamber system with its legal ability to say, As Sergeant Shultz used to say on Hogan&#8217;s Heroes, &#8220;I know nothing.&#8221; Make that &#8220;I can say nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I can&#8217;t either but that&#8217;s not likely to stop me. <\/p>\n<p>There was a case I read only glancingly a while back involving a Boys Basketball coach who got canned. His seemed like a pretty sympathetic case to me. He was sticking up for his kids and paid the price of being removed from the team because of it.<\/p>\n<p>How different my memory of another coach in a different sport who treated too many of his kids like dirt but was reinstated because his State Championships gave the district a lot of good ink. This is a district that seems a little too satisfied with the superficial.<\/p>\n<p>There is one person I&#8217;d like to get the low down on this coach from but he didn&#8217;t respond to my suggestion that we meet after he canceled our last get together. That may be what I can expect to happen more often over the next 16 months.<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness I&#8217;ve become so mellow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My blog.
