These people have such a drive to hold positions on the board, conduct and policies just don't matter. I find it terrbly sad that people don't have the integrity to even consider stepping down from a position like that. I often wonder if they had children of their own? I don't think it would be wrong to assume that if they were raised and coached by these politicians, that we potentially have some future problems. Did your parents raise you like this? Is this a learned behavior? I can't imagine that you are born into the world with a deviant mind. Based on election results, there are plenty of you who think this way. If nothing else, it feels good being different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-59971952286142023112007-11-10T11:25:00.000-08:002007-11-10T11:25:00.000-08:00Regarding the clear and specific direction board p...Regarding the clear and specific direction board policy provides in governing the conduct of board members, I can only remind the reader that these rules are developed by the board and are honored only when convenient for them.<BR/><BR/>If board members cannot follow written direction, or need help from lawyers to understand the English language, what hope do we have for our students under their governance?ESD15.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226260553219032275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-28286248343982499112007-11-09T23:36:00.000-08:002007-11-09T23:36:00.000-08:00Now that Gary Noble has been re-elected to the ESD...Now that Gary Noble has been re-elected to the ESD Board, how does this affect the fact that his wife teaches in the ESD? I attended a function at the ESC this week for an employee's retirement. In chatting with former colleagues, I was told that the situation with the Noble's had been resolved and that the ruling about the husband/wife issue had been in effect previously, but was now not in effect and whomever brought this up on the ESD Blog didn't know what they were talking about!<BR/>Can the Webmaster look in to this and clarify please.

I have many memories of the "good old days" when all employees were created "equal", whether your position was a Custodian, Secretary, Manager, Principal; we ALL worked as a TEAM, for the goodness and education of children!

Marla does not seem to be losing any sleep over the blog and her side kicks (Manny, Margo, and Brian) all seem to be getting more and more arrogant as each day goes by. They are well protected by her and flaunt it. But I am reminded that all good things do come to and end and the evil will be exposed and defeated. So Mark, keep up the good work and remember that the darkess hour is just before dawn. Do not be weary in well doing, because in do season, you will reap a harvest of blessings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-2598115387338982242007-11-05T20:35:00.000-08:002007-11-05T20:35:00.000-08:00Thank you for your comments.It has been a great 14...Thank you for your comments.<BR/><BR/>It has been a great 144 days and I look forward to the coming months and years of watching and reporting on how the District makes decisions and how they impact the lives of the public.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully the day will come when good news will find its way here.<BR/><BR/>MarkESD15.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226260553219032275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-49939748612665812942007-11-05T20:08:00.000-08:002007-11-05T20:08:00.000-08:00Mark,I have to commend you on your work.
