Why are some high schools in TN employing crooked superintendents and principals?

Where I am the Super won’t allow you to address the school board/////none in years!!!! parents are cut off… also he’s been, neglegently (with no regard for fiscal duty) allocating funds grandiously to whomever he wishes. In June he dropped 1.4million, his excuses on being caught are disturbing and he’s launched a counter offensive telling the community that the problem is the county council member who noticed the inconsistancies is at fault/this is how we do things/public meetings are wrong, etc…. I want to shake my rattle…what should I do?

By the way I have never met or spoke to the council member who raised this issue/////Fact is, “there are many other issues too”.

i think the individual above was right…report it to the AG of your state. Write to the op ed section of the news.

i thought parents had the right to attend school board meetings? maybe take a cue from the more liberal among us and try to get a few people together to picket the meeting? that should garner some news interest….

it is a pity parents no longer have say in their children’s education. it is our shame it has become so politicized…. so unreachable ….. and we must take it back…as parents interested in what our children are being taught… we have to take an interest…and we have to take back our rights…our duties as parents….

don’t give up….

Thieves always go where the easiest and most money is and school budgets handle money in the multi-millions.Ask for an investigation from the State Board of Education. They can’t ignore everyone.

They can get away with it. The two best ways to defeat this kind of behavior are:

1) unions: teacher & support staff unions

2) media publicity: editorials, letters to the editor, op ed articles, etc. Keep the publicity coming!

Perhaps this type of corruption is something that you can bring to the attention of the Attorney General’s Attention in your state. If not, maybe his/her office could advise…
