Once Again The District Isn’t P...
Remember a year ago when I met with Dr. Wardynski and asked him if the district would be ready to meet IEPs on the first day of school? Remember when his response to that question was, “I don’t know.” Of course, this was back when Dr. Wardynski was still new and concerned about actually answering questions from the public.

But it’s a far and away distant second when it comes to my family. Everyday, my boy, my girl, and Laurel remind me of just how lucky I am. And getting to spend a weekend at the lake [...]

Editor’s Note: These were the comments that I made to the Huntsville City School’s Board of Education at the board meeting tonight. Dr. Wardynski’s response to my comments was, “I did not state that we were hiring people at a nationally competitive rate, but rather that the salaries were competitive on the state level. [...]
