I agree. That's crazy to have someone sitting on the board when they won't send their own kids there.

I agree completely.

^Me too, but it has happened here at Mason County in the past. Probably not an extremely rare occurrence, but my humble opinion is if you don't think enough of the school system to send your children there, you have no business being on the Board.

Waterboy is right.

 

What I don't understand is that school board members are pretty powerless and should be by law, powerless to make sole personnel issues without the consent of the entire board, especially. For some odd reason, "some" board members across our state think they have power, when they really don't have anything. But when their is NO support from within or support from the Super, then you have this mess. Superintendent here needs to step up to the plate and stop the public relations bleeding that he is encountering, all thanks to one person. Only in America! 1 person is the majority rule? This is a prime example.

 

 

I agree 100%. Any one person that trys to dictate who is hired or fired other than the principal needs to be ousted.:thumb:

As for the pink slip issue, hasn't he been there long enough to have tenure with his teaching position? Coaches are yearly contracts, but traditionally don't get pink slipped unless its for no other reason than they are actually not going to be back.

Unless the principal gives the authority to hire coaches to the AD. This is done in some schools. What is really wrong is for the AD to be accountable for a coach's action and be the one told to do the firing and then not have any say in the hiring.

I too have heard some rumblings about coaching cutbacks at some other area High Schools. Maybe limiting the number of assistant coaches.

Yes it is a budget issue.

 

 

 

 

Coach Humphrey did get a pink slip for his coaching and job. The funding for his position was among the big budget cuts we are seeing across the state. Also ALL assistant coaches from all sports and all levels got pink slips for just their coaching duties. I am sure most will be hired back but at this point we don't know.

 

I will say, with coaches blessing, that there is a unhappy board member with the athletic program. I do hope that our system will put our kids first and do what is best for them and keep the coaching staffs we have and continue to build our programs.

 

 

I will say that I don't know what the story is at GRC, but they could not find a better coach than Coach Humphrey. He has turned that progam around and made GRC a power again. Sometimes board members have their own agenda, but this decision to relieve Coach Humphrey of all his duties is completely wrong.

 

If he is not hired back at GRC, he will no doubt be sought out by many other schools.

You have a renegade lady on the board who has nothing better to do than rabble rouse.

How can you sit on a public school board, and want to better a school district, yet in turn send your kids to Lexington Catholic?

Blasphemous.

The people of Winchester need to rise up and send her pcking.

I totally agree. With that said though, I would be real surprised if he wasn't on the sidelines coaching next year.

Good coach at GRC. Cannot believe he would not be back.

He may leave just for spite.

That is unbelievable!!!

I doubt it.

What did Coach Humphrey teach at GRC?
