Talk about stealing!
The staff should be outraged.
I think we all should STRIKE.
Like at the new Lynnwood High School.
OH, you haven't heard the workers at the new Lynnwood High School are on STRIKE.
Go look Monday morning.

With salaries like those posted herein, does the public now understand why we pass levies so kids can have the tools they need to learn? You can now see where our tax dollars are going. The folks, with a few exceptions, who work in the Administration offices, have no idea what goes on in schools nor do they give a damn!

It would be interesting to read more comments from people working at the schools as to what experiences they have had contacting any on this list of administrators and how they would rate the service, support and assistance they have received.

Working as I do in the ESC I have been told the general consensus is that communication is curt, that their concerns are minimized and that they feel the attitude is poor, one of superiority and self importance. Is there anyone out there willing to respond?

For the minimal responsibility, accountability and effectiveness of (most) of the individuals on this list the salaries do not reflect their worth and reading this is enough, I think, to make most of us feel ill and very much taken advantage of.

Esd15.org is the benefits included or is this without the benefits?

ESD15.org said...

Benefits not included.

Benefits not included and you may come and go as you please. This stolen time is never made up by my supervisor. Guess who my supervisor is? This will come as a tremendous shock to all of you.

In response to the writer who is interested in how the schools feel about support from administration; let me tell you that after 28 years in the district working in a school, I never felt supported by Human Resources, other than the Benefits Department. I can recall asking questions of Payroll and was made to feel like an idiot. On one occasion, I needed information about a new employee, so the person could be paid; I left 3 voice mail messages; three days passed. I drove to the District HR department and the person I needed to speak with was looking at a Tupperware catalog and was on the phone placing her order. If I had not made the trip to the district office, the employee would not have been paid. The Print Shop deserves kudos; they always aimed to please and supported the buildings in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, as well as the Warehouse until the present supervisor took over. What a shame.

The corrupt and brutal regime of President Ceausescu of Romania was infamous across the world. His ferocious government had run the country emphatically for many years, crushing any signs of dissent ruthlessly. In November 1989 he was re-elected President for another five years as his supporters at Party Conference gave him forty standing ovations.

On December 21st the President, disturbed by a small uprising in the western city of Timosoara in support of a Protestant Clergyman, was persuaded to address a public rally in Bucharest.

One solitary man in the crowd, Nica Leon, sick to death with Ceausescu and the dreadful circumstances he created for everyone started shouting in favour of the revolutionaries in Timasoara. The crowd around him, obedient to the last, thought that when he shouted out 'long live Timisoara!' it was some new political slogan.

They started chanting it too. It was only when he called, 'Down with Ceausescu!' that they realised something wasn't right. Terrified, they tried to force themselves away from him, dropping the banners they had been carrying. In the crush the wooden batons on which the banners were held began to snap underfoot and women started screaming. The ensuing panic sounded like booing.

The unthinkable was happening. Ceausescu stood there on his balcony, ludicrously frozen in uncertainty, his mouth opening and shutting. Even the official camera shook with fright. Then the head of security walked swiftly across the balcony towards him and whispered, 'They're getting in'. It was clearly audible on the open microphone and was broadcast all over the whole country on live national radio.

This was the start of the revolution. Within a week Ceausescu was dead.

The human race is the most stupid and unfair kind of race. A lot of the runners don't even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water. Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side. It's not surprising a lot of people have given up competing all together and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk and shout abuse. What the human race needs is a lot more streakers.

It takes a lot of guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no-one else believes in - like peace and justice and freedom.

Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.

The warehouse supervisor has made a bad name for the department. This must just kill Barbara Lloyd. She does not operate like that dishonest cheater at the warehouse. She tries real hard to do good for the district. She deserves better than to have to babysit another supervisor. I would not take my eyes off that guy for a second. He can not be relied upon to do the right thing. Sorry to the Warehouse. Don't the happy couple abuse the district by only having one vehicl? Is anybody watching how vehicles are used by them? What is this back and forth with a district truck?

Anonymous said...

Well in having only one vehicle, when one leaves, the spouse gets to go home early too. Just another added bonus to the package.

Anonymous said...

I thought that district truck is owned by Chuck Penney AND Traci Penney. Nice to have FREE gas.

Free gas and a free ride anytime you want to stage a medical! Right gang? How's that all working out for you?

Anonymous said...

Are you saying that Chuck and Tracy Penney use a District vehicle to drive to and from work? Are their supervisors BLIND????

Anonymous said...

Barb Lloyd give 110 per cent and Sara gives OH I don't know she shows up. Barb Lloyd receives no extra pay for taking on the warehouse but every times other supervisors sneeze they get a raise. What system do they use to give salaries bet they don't do PDQ's. Just kiss the right butt and you got it!

They just take advantage of the district vehicle whenever one or the other wants to leave early. Let's be honest, that is almost, if not daily. And NO, nobody is acting on this childish behavior.
Nice lunches too, girls. And oh my, did this latest medical exuse actually start last friday, March 14th? I have evidence that says YES INDEED. How long for this one? Keep dumping on your peers. They love you more and more for your sad excuses. What could we give as a permanent title for the disruptive married couple? They just need a fresh start somewhere else. I'm sure that their production would pick up.

I am a very concerned parent who has had four children attend this school district. I recognise one name from this list, Jan Beglau. I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with her on a couple of occasions. I am horrified that my tax dollars are paying her outrageous salary! If I performed my job the way she did, I would be fired!
