I guess I never really put a welcome out to Pound . I was too busy dancing over the carcass of Bubba Hathorne whic h I have to admit it's mighty good.

 

Nobody loves WC more than Tracey. There was most certainly those who had better resumes but as far as deserving the chance to be the next head coach it was Pound or Kat who has his eye set on bigger things than HC of football, proud for you Kat .

With that said there is a lot of doubt surrounding Lampley but that has always been lurking around him. People telling him couldn't do something fuels him like nothing else.  So don't be surprised when he knocks it out of the park. It's his show now and one could say what's going to be different than his last staff positions . Tracey has always been about leadership and being a team player, It will be interesting to see how he approaches being out front now.

The one thing I can say about him on that field is when called upon he was always right there and he never, ever missed the mark . He wanted the ball in his hands when it was all on the line. There's no need in going through the results most everyone knows them. 

So here is where I stand on it. Tracy is my man at WC  now. I'm going to roll with him and let the chips fall where they may. The ball is in his hands again now just in a different way.

 

Welcome back  Pound. It's been way too long.

Does that mean Kat is coming back to WC in an administrator role?

He's put himself in a position to fill those positions now so why not ?  I've said it before the best and brightest have to leave Wayne County because once they educate themselves there's nothing there that utilizes their training. If they have a position that comes open in administration it should be be filled by competent people from there.

We just had eight years of castoffs ftom Jones County and look at what they have did to the district off ice.The dam thing is in shambles. They couldn't even turn in a coach's name to be voted on without making it a circus. It's time to tell the DOE not to send any more of their bounced around flameouts here. Every decision they make is how it relates to their retirement and it;s like pulling teeth to get rid of them

[slicklizard]

That's right. Bring him back home. Get everyone back pulling in the same direction. With Sims there is no right or left only forward.

Kat for next Principal  Asst Supt hasn't come to me yet.

I knew that would spark your memory, lol. It wasn't even two weeks before Hankins fake resigned we were discussing how incompetent the district office was and lo and behold they exceeded our wildest expectations.

I will say what I said then. Sims would never be boring or sneaky  and however quirky his ideas half of them would work.  Whereas then as is now all the current admin. rides around in a clown car,. 

Hell Sims might would  buy a real clown car as a drivers ed vehicle.

I was aware.  He was just denied an appointment on the PGSD board.

 

His wife is a local doctor and they built a house one block off the beach a decade or so ago.  
 

Stranger things have happened but Lewis as a high level administrator in the Wayne school district seems implausible.

Yeah I know his sister married a friend of mine. I’m pretty sure Slick meant it as a joke I know I did. Although I like Lewis he’s a really good guy but he’s also at home where he is

[slicklizard]

I do mean it as a joke but it highlights the type of person that WC needs right now.  This whole search showed the district  office is the sole decision maker for everything that goes on at the schools. With a new principal and new football coach we need a calming hand that will bring everyone together while new principal gets his feet on the ground.

Lewis is a good guy and I think he would be an asset to any school district. He may not want to do anything and just stay retired

So that's why he coached in New York.

I guess the ambiguity didn't get the point across.

 

The district office and by default the MDOE has stonewalled the board lately. They ascribe that the BOE is not to be involved in the day to day operations of the schools.  The District office is not supposed to be involvef in board decisions .The madam president  of the BOE is a friend of the district office away from the meetings.

Or

Tater wants someone else they can scare holding  the supt position

So a board member is not allowed on campus between 8 am to 3 pm plus or minus 30 minutes. Not even to discuss his or her child. Not even to talk with principal at a game, etc.

[pancho]

Only for a parent/teacher conference.  Well, unless the parent is you know, influential.......ahem

My guess is the board members just so happens to a copy or grand jury member then they may have certain access to the vampus.

School board members can access the campus. They must have permission from the principal and follow all safety protocols.

My phone screwed that up. A cop who is a board member should have automatic access to drop their kid off and pick the kid up. He or she also should have access for safety reason or in the official capacity of an officer of the law. And it's campus not Vampus. Totally my bad and my finger.

I think they had some issues i think with the school system.  I don't think it was a takeover.

No they didn't . Covid saved them really . It dam sure made them scared to death of it though.

 

This separation of the BOE and district authority ,  a principal shouldn't have any interaction with the BOE in any capacity  ?
