Being part of the organizational structure at my school has meant obeying and not asking questions.<br /><br />Please don't get discouraged in teh face of adversity. Many know that Dr. Shelton is behaving incorrectly-if not illegally. It's a matter of time before he departs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-32623639220304540802014-06-03T18:48:12.041-04:002014-06-03T18:48:12.041-04:00Thanks Sharon for being a part of Fayette County P...Thanks Sharon for being a part of Fayette County Public Schools.

We support you. We are teachers who,...Dear Sharon,<br /><br />We support you. We are teachers who, while tenured, cannot give our names. It's disturbing working in a district with people like Lu Young, Vince Mattox, and Tom Shelton. They cry "finacial crisis" to make horrible cuts that affect kids.<br /><br />We understand these people cannot allow any teachers to endanger their positions. But what can they do to a parent? The only thing theu can do is encourage Melissa Bacon to silence you at the microphone with her infamous, "You are out of order." We look to parents like yourself to voice their concerns. I hope you will consider picketing Central Office! And get the KEA people to join with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-22795964001777116242014-06-02T18:25:04.420-04:002014-06-02T18:25:04.420-04:00Dear Mrs. Mofield-Boswell,
Thank you for speaking...Dear Mrs. Mofield-Boswell,<br /><br />Thank you for speaking up. You are a good parent, a concerned community member, and you are not a trouble maker. Please write your concerns about the STEAM Academy to Dr. Terry Holliday, Commissioner of Education. I genuinely believe that Tom Shelton should not have awarded a contract to his good friend.<br /><br />Thank you for speaking up for the children of our district.<br /><br />A grateful supporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-22630047627148980212014-06-02T10:45:02.465-04:002014-06-02T10:45:02.465-04:00Thank you, Mr. Day, for continuing to keep all of ...Thank you, Mr. Day, for continuing to keep all of us informed as this story continues to unfold. As we all know, I am very involved throughout the district. I have also attended the BOE meetings and "taken the mic" to voice my concerns...sometimes with unpleasant results. That being said, I would like the other families in FCPS to know that I am not affluent and that my husband and I both work multiple jobs to "make ends meet". The point I want to make is this: For the first time in a long time, I really think many families are truly engaged from all socio-economic backgrounds. This is the time for all of us to speak up and be heard. It doesn't matter your background or your education level...we all have valuable input to share regarding the education of our children. Let me be the perfect example of not letting any circumstance interfere with advocating for children. It doesn't take wealth or high level education to speak on the behalf of kids...it just takes passion and dedication. We can make a difference...we already have!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Sharon Mofield-BoswellSharon Mofield-Boswellnoreply@blogger.com
