Alvord taxpayers: get out your checkbooks

Alvord ISD UPDATE: Taxpayers, get out your checkbooks

This from the Wise County Messenger Online: WCMessenger.com: School district hires interim leader

Let’s get this right – the school board, who should be protecting and representing the students and taxpayers – have agreed to give shamed former Supt John Trice retirement, separation payments, health care and LEGAL DEFENSE!

This just goes to show that no matter what a Superintendent does, the school board will cover his behind and at taxpayer expense, provide him with legal defense.

Let’s just do a recap – the Superintendent is accused of electioneering on school grounds, telling employees how to vote, violating the open records laws by omitting damaging emails from a request (made by me), hiring an employee who does not exist, failing to acknowledge an inappropriate student-district staff relationship, retaliating against employees he believed to have disclosed his electioneering, and more.

Alvord taxpayers, get out your checkbooks – this shamed superintendent could cost you some real money!

At the same time, you may want to contact your school board members and share with them your outrage that they are giving this guy a pass but a free ride - when he should likely be going directly to jail. Shame on the Alvord school board members!
