Enough is Enough!

We now know why the Director of Schools refused to publicly discuss the reasons for not renewing Mrs. Hackett’s contract. Clearly he wanted to wait to see what additional minor items could be created to justify his decision. And, he knew that if he explained his reasons in public, Mrs. Hackett could respond. By filing his reasons in Court he knew that Mrs. Hackett would have to wait until the trial to respond. Since she can’t respond, we need to get the truth out.

Where did this negative information come from?

• Why was none of this information in her personal or evaluation files?  WE LOOKED!!!!!  Her files are public records and nothing was in there. 
• Was this information in a hidden file that was kept from the public?
• Will certain individuals be rewarded with new job opportunities due to half truths and untruths?
• We all knew about the signature. Mrs. Gregory’s statement is misleading!  Her signature was copied on the copying machine not forged. And the copying is obvious.   These were all positive evaluations and nothing negative was on there.  Mrs. Hackett didn’t intend or cause any harm to Mrs. Gregory. Mrs. Gregory also stated she had never been reprimanded from Mrs. Hackett.  NOT TRUE!! On numerous occasions Mrs. Hackett had to talk to her about her language.  Mrs. Hackett has witnesses to that! Parents and students are aware of the facts.
• Purchasing gifts and meals for staff, faculty, and volunteers.  Since when is it inappropriate to reward students, teachers, staff, and volunteers for a job well done? Where is the policy on this and are other schools/principals held to the same standards.
• Not cooperating with supervisors?????  All supervisors were greeted with smiles and respect when they walked through our doors at NMS. (As is every person that walks through our doors!)  NMS even sent Mrs. Fox (supervisor) flowers congratulating her for her big “award”. How can this be uncooperative?  Mrs. Fox never even sent a Thank You.
• Flowers- Is it inappropriate to send flowers to funerals or illnesses who are connected to our school? (or congratulating our supervisor of instruction)
• Vending account- It is hard to figure a profit/loss analysis on vending accounts that only made $20-$40 a month! Compare this with the $100 a month payment to the Director (for begin secretary to the board) which appears to violate State law. Have all of the audits of the Central Office been completely clean?
• Why are NMS and 2 other schools the only schools without a bookkeeper? 

Stop by our booth at the Smith County Fair and talk to us.  We need voices!!!!!!!
