The number of days per week that each works would be fairly accurate. They can only work in this environment in which they are protected. Any consultant with fecal matter for brain would say they have to go. They do nothing to enrich the district, and do not have the potential to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-13868579676579713672008-03-23T11:57:00.000-07:002008-03-23T11:57:00.000-07:00Are the Penney's working two and half days per wee...Are the Penney's working two and half days per week per person and getting paid for a 5 day week? I'm confused about this statement. If they have struck a deal with the District, at least the District is aware there is a problem. Question: Does the District think this is a PROBLEM/ISSUE?? They usually just "sweep it under the rug", so to speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-27256288487256121762008-03-22T21:08:00.000-07:002008-03-22T21:08:00.000-07:00Apparently the Penneys have struck a deal with the...Apparently the Penneys have struck a deal with the district that says that husband and wife will not work the same days together. This is a good faith effort to help eraticate the conflict of interest bug. So Chuck works 2 1/2 days a week, and Tracy works the other 2 1/2 days. Wait a minute..... You can't fool me! This has been their schedule since September of 2004. And there is still a conflict of interest. So that hasn't been working. But neither are they.

There is a great deal of dead weight in middle management and I hope the Edmonds School District #15 will realize that, a 2% raise is much greater on a $100,000.00 salary than on a $30,000.00 salary.<BR/><BR/>Clint Goodison does nothing all day long. I wish Marla would check that out. He has been given an assistant by Manny, because he needs help with his paperwork, what little there is. This guy can not do anything. Just ask some of the folks who have been doing his work while he comes in around 8:30a.m. and gets his breakfast, take a walk, takes lunch and then take another walk and then goes home around 4:00p.m.or 4:30p.m. Don't ask him about any thing you need help with, because he simply can not help you. He did a PDQ and got a big raise. Must be nice.<BR/><BR/>Sarah Conroy ask what she does. Plays favorites with her buddies and loves to throw her authority around. This person is worthless. Check it out.<BR/><BR/>Devon Miles, is her position really necessary? She does nothing all day. She does have a lot of favorite phrase to use when she has not done anything or messed things up. She is well protected by Ed Peters and she is well aware of that fact.<BR/><BR/>Elmo checked out along time ago.<BR/><BR/>Why does every manager in Student Services need an assistant? Parents should be highly upset. There is confidential information floating around in a brown envelope marked confidential: Attention Lauri Velasquez. Folks, let me tell you this information is not secured in any way. The folder is not a secured folder and it ends up in a lot of mail boxes trying to get to the right person. Parents, your child's information is not safe. However the managers in Student Services parade around like proud peacocks. Never mind if work is done properly they have to sport their titles.<BR/><BR/>What's sad is that a lot of the dead weight in the Edmonds School District #15 will set on the committe and decide the fate of others. If you are a good worker and not liked by Marla, you are in trouble. What is really sad about Marla is that she is very vindictive, and she will use her position to destroy you if you have done anything to her favorite pets in the Edmonds School District #15, or if she thinks you have crossed her. Her favorite pets will go to her with their complaints about you, and she makes them a promise that she will get you, because she has the title to do so. <BR/><BR/>Manny's position should never have been created. He is very incompetent. I must say that Marla has really gone to bat for this guy. When you know he is in over his head, she lifts him higher and defends everything he does. Must be nice being able to screw up and get a big fat raise. Just goes to show you, it is not what you know, but who you know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-77162907768429309822008-03-21T18:06:00.000-07:002008-03-21T18:06:00.000-07:00We are once again top heavy in our district.

Also let's cut Clint Goodison he's just here to push pencils until he retires. As the worker bees and we will tell you where we see where the cuts should be made. Long ago in another time with the district their used to be a representative from each bargaining group on the budget committee you will notice now that it is all the top management employees and their jobs don't get touched. Lets make a strong recommendation that we go back to the "old" times and allow a repre. from each bargaining group help make the decisions in the district. Ya that sounds good! Bye to the Supt. and Marla/Manny you gotta go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-10544228036288155862008-03-20T19:48:00.000-07:002008-03-20T19:48:00.000-07:00I would like to see some middle management get cut...I would like to see some middle management get cut.

Sure, the salaries may be the same but if you have ten times as many you are bound to create a budget problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
