You can't fire a principle or teacher without cause. Best to offer lower salary and hope they leave. Then bring in Tville people.

Definitely a leadership problem. Whip that tail a few times and things will change.

Sounds like they need a townhall meeting and air out the problems. If a new principle is needed then so be it. They have to bring those kids back or it's over. No they don't have the money to build a new school. If students continue to leave then technically sending kids to Raleigh and Mize is consolidation to an extent. Maybe leave Taylorsville as a PreK thru 9th grade to offset overcrowding Raleigh and Mize.

Mize doesn't have the room for those kids. Options are: 1) Redraw PreK thru 8th grade into 3 County schools currently in place. 2) Redraw 9th-12th grade schools into 2 with most students north of Mt Zion to 35 North straight across and north going to Raleigh. South of Mt Zion, Taylorsville proper, and Sumerland west go to Mize. 3) If Necessary build 1 or 2 Elementary schools one being at Lorena along 35 and one at Polkville on 13. 4) Build a new 7th-12th grades school along 28 west of Georgia Pacific/Roseburg for Mize/Taylorsville areas. 5) Where consented should be used in whatever the Superintendent and board does i hope is used to simply rebuild Taylorsville in terms of leadership, teachers. Industry has to be brought in that some in the past in this county has fought off especially in the north. Growth has to be first and foremost. Look, why should a farmer or a Southern Pine employee have to go outside the county to buy work clothes and boots for work. Stores like Cato Fashions and Shoe Store is needed for women and girls. Western Wear for men is needed for men. Build it here and grow the tax base.

They are some big boys that seem to get pushed around by the Tupelo's and Starkville's of the state.

Taylorsville OC job posted this afternoon.

Northside open September 5th

I think they would end up at Prep or Hartfield since their closer.

They need to bring it at State.

Success all depends on how many pulpwood haulers vs Nintendo players he has on the line and can they dominate the likes of Starkville, Tupelo, and Oak Grove. Winning South is not the issue. It's dominating on the line against Clinton, Starkville, Tupelo or Madison Central. And keep the ball moving and scoring in the championship game. They have had the QB, RB, and WR to get the job done. And he may bring in 1 or 2 new assistants maybe in 2026.

Sounds like politics. Somebody in town caries big time. What he or she goes.

If he can toughen up those city boys he may win a statty.

Probably so.

Teddy by 28 if Puckett doesn't improve. Teddy has to really throw the game away with mistakes.

Puckett OL couldn't open a pin hole for 5 ft 5 140 rb.

Maybe uncoached!

Puckett is young, undersized on both lines. They are truly a 1A talent maybe small school MAIS in a 2A Class. They couldn't stop the wing t, wing t passing game or even open holes for their really small running backs. I don’t believe they have had a blocking scheme since Lennis Steven's retired.

At least 20 jobs are open. Switching schools, jobs, or positions within the district?

Puckett In 14 seasons at Center Hill he had 2 winning seasons. I don't know what his ties are to Rankin County.

Their talent level is young and size is down.

WJTV has announced that JPS is exploring the boundaries of all Elementsry, Middle, and Lanier High Schools for fall of 2025-2026 school year. It will be introduced see if the numbers could have kept Lanier at 4A. Also each middle school feeds a certain high school.JPS numbers will be interesting come reclassification in 2026.

Breaking: Silverback is back at Columbia

So much for that national search or was it National Championship Coach.

USM womens job may come into play here.
