Taylorsville Job

[GCWildcatFan]

I wonder if the Philly job coming open affects this hiring process. Seeing that Jimbo Nowell is currently the DC at Philly

I doubt it . The longer this is drawn out makes me think he will be the next head coach at Taylorsville .

I mean I guarantee that Philly pays a lot more than Tville. It makes you think that maybe he is trying to get out a contract or something

Getting out of a contract would probably not be hard since he is leaving as an assistant for a head job .

Is that how it works in coaching, you can just get out of it for a promotion? I'm not familiar with teaching/coaching contracts.

He will have to finish out his contract at Philly. Will work with them to go to their new jobs.

I was questioning if he has signed a contract for next year. Doesn't teaching contracts for the next school year usually come out this time of year?

Arrington voted to keep Hillman that all you need to know and Hillman was in Covington Co where he from too.  Covington Co principal at Taylorsville.  Smell what I'm cooking?

If it’s a promotion, most of the time the school will release you from your contract.

Which one do you think he would take if both jobs were offered to him?

He from Covington Co.  He got fired at Stringer cause he lost it over there.  Last I heard he was up in Yazzoo or somewhere.  He got no damn business being on the board

Depends on if one of them does not include the AD position. I had heard that the Tville job will not include the position of AD, and they obviously hurts your pool of candidates

Well Taylorsville people elected him. They elected him and Hicks both. And that’s two votes that were for the superintendent. The districts were drawn years ago in a way that ensured that mize does not have a voice in elections. Raleigh and Tville determine who is elected.

That's absolutely crazy if they take the AD position away from the Head FOOTBALL coach. That is what makes small school look good for potential head coaches. Who are they giving it to if it's not the head football coach?

I was told the basketball coach. I don’t if that’s true or not, just what I heard.

If jimbo gets hired I wonder if he will bring his own staff in ?

He lives in Mize. He has a Smith County address in Beat 3 Mize school zone. He is a principle and goes where he can get a job or where ever ha applies just like a coach.

I would think so since it sounds like most of the staff was gunnin for the job

What’s funny is, his house is the last house and ONLY house on his street that is in beat 3. The rest of them are beat 1. Probably 80% of his beat are taylorsville voters. And that’s the same way Freddie Martin’s beat, and Prentiss Adcock’s beat is too. Their beats are about 20% Mize voters and 80% Raleigh voters. Maybe a little more than that in beat 1 but still majority Raleigh. When they redrew the districts years ago they made sure Mize had no voice. If people from Raleigh and Taylorsville are mad about how the board operates, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Are these redistricting zones   done by the country, or state?

County. It was big deal back when they done it. There were some people from Mize were irate about it, because they knew that Mize was getting screwed. 

[BigT]

Sounds like every parent of a mize student should have flooded the school board meeting and should have demanded all 5 supervisors to be present also!

[Rebel Bert]

School board and Supervisors are elected in same 5 beats. Beat 1 Smith County includes the entire town of Mize per Mize officials request after 2020 census. Beat 4 includes the western side of Smith County from Scott County Line south to the railroad tracks heading west towards Saratoga, Sharon, and Maddox. The southern box is Shady Grove in Mize School zone. All land south of railroad tracts towards Taylorsville and in Taylorsville is Beat 3. This came about when the Federal Government forced each State and County to have at least 1 predominantly African American Beat or District. Majority of the African Americans in Smith lie along the Jasper and Jones County borders. Mize is predominantly 90% White, Raleigh is nearly 70% White, Taylorsville is 55% Black. You simply can't do anything about those numbers except Consolidate into 1 or 2 County Schools in the future. Well I guess you could go over by Stringer and build a largely all Black School. Government might not like it.  Each School zone is represented by at least 3 board members. Well Raleigh has 4  board members. Maybe Freddie does or does not represent Taylorsville.

Freddie represents a small fraction of Taylorsville school district. The majority of his district is Raleigh, then Mize, then Tville. That is the only beat that covers all 3 schools. The majority of beat 2 is Taylorsville, and maybe a little of Raleigh. The majority of beat 3 is Tville, and a little of Mize. The majority of beat 4 is Raleigh and a little of Mize. The majority of beat 5 is Raleigh. The voters of Mize have the least voice of all 3 towns when it comes to electing board members. Raleigh has the most voting power, followed by Tville, then Mize. So if Raleigh voters and Tville voters are upset with the way the board operates, they have nobody to blame but themselves because they hold all the voting power. 
 

I imagine, beat 3 will determine whether or not Tville hires Jimbo or not. It’s probably going to be a 3-2 vote. If the principal is allowed to hire her preference, then it could be a 5-0 vote. They usually never go against a principals wishes.
