The lies that come out of CO is a joke. Why does Tom have 3 assistants doing his job? They are stealing our kids education at their expense. They are making big bucks to do NOTHING! It's time to ask for the RESIGNATIONS of Tom, Mary, Vince, Jackson and anyone else who has dirt on their hands!!!!Darrell Perkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-89445670558986446202014-05-29T09:33:26.650-04:002014-05-29T09:33:26.650-04:00Did you hear Doug Barnett rip Mike Scanlon near th...Did you hear Doug Barnett rip Mike Scanlon near the end of the meeting after Scanlon criticized him and Mrs. Ferguson? Oh my! Mr. Barnett has been right the entire time about the culture of fear and intimidation in the schools and at Central Office and I am thankful that he has been speaking out about it. He has my respect. Hopefully Adam Edelen was listening.

Whatever Rodney Jackson had to say about the $20 million was as inaudible as it was confusing. None of us understood what he said and I don't see how he proved his innocence. He appreared incompetenet and confused. The technology slide show was a bunch of bells and whistles that proved nothing.<br /><br />I was moved by the parents who spoke up about the special education cuts. Their children will clearly suffer the most in FCPS.<br /><br />Mike Scanlon gave an inflmmatory speech against critics of the budget and basically said not to trust Brenda Allen. Melissa Bacon did not rule him out of order. Is she a puppet or what?<br /><br /><br />I think the superintendent is lying, and I continue to believe Fayette County School employees are afraid to speak up at meetings like this. <br /><br />I'm ashamed of Fayette County Schools and Tom Shelton. I believe in Mrs. Mullins and believe raises were granted illegally to Vonce Maddox and Lu Young.<br /><br />Thanks, Amanda Ferguson, for not voting for the budget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-12697764744514654692014-05-28T22:52:19.760-04:002014-05-28T22:52:19.760-04:00I see such disregard for the students by the admin...I see such disregard for the students by the administration. They are so wrapped up in what "looks" good, rather than what is good for the students. I am so sick of being told there is "no money" for classroom supplies for our preschool classrooms while we are wasting money right and left on foolishness - and that includes the "extra" classroom days to the tune of $750,000 per year! Teacher concerns are ignored and all we hear about are excuses to build up administrative positions. What a crock!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-53139147503951719612014-05-28T20:59:21.282-04:002014-05-28T20:59:21.282-04:00Beaumont Teachers support our other colleagues.

It's time to stop the cover-ups, bullying, and fraud. As a former FCPS employee at IAKSS (now retired), I know how the system operates by intimidation. For Shelton to say that Julane will not face any retribution--how stupid do you think we are??!!! Pack those bags Tom!!!<br /><br />On another note-for those folks who contribute to Kentucky Teacher Retirement--Dr Shelton is the Chair of the Board of Trustees for KTRS!

Dr.Shelton is being paid around $255,000 a year and we have hired someone at $165,000 to do half of his job. This district has so many employees that have seen and live with the utter disregard this administration shows. And these same employees actually deal with children everyday and do a great job. They need someone, in authority, to help them help our students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-6134174390534792682014-05-28T10:29:41.245-04:002014-05-28T10:29:41.245-04:00The actual transfer is not in question, Dr. Shelto...The actual transfer is not in question, Dr. Shelton!

He needs to resign as should Mary Wright, Rodney Jackson and Vince Mattox. What a shameful display.
