Endorsement- School Superintendent

I am agreeing with Mr. Walker. Theresa Davidson would be an excellent superintendent. She works hard to make improvements for our district. If only the public were allowed to vote...

Lowther buildings to close, middle school will see addition

Methusla - It's not WHERE you live in Emporia...it's who you are. This town has a huge 'name' game going on...

Oh, don't even go there, Henry.

School officials: ‘no evidence’

Who said it was the boy who is the problem? There is not suffient evidence that proves that any of this took place. No witnesses, either. Just one little girl and her friend. Even criminals are innocent until proven guilty. Let's wait and see if this young boy is guilty before losing our minds.

School officials: ‘no evidence’

Ummm - Yes, EPD was involved in the investigation, and parents were notified.

Not worth the debt

Teachers are underpaid? Try looking at the support staff. I have worked for the school district for 14 years and have yet to break poverty level wages. And yet, I have had difficulty finding a different job because with all of my current job requirements I have been told that I am "over-qualified". As for spending the $$$ on the football field...well, I thought that the school district was broke. No raises for employees this year. Give me a break...

Raising awareness

I like that..."it's not OK to start a fight, but it's OK to finish
it." Wish more people had that way of thinking. There are only so many instances that a child can "run and tell a teacher". What is the teacher supposed to do? Tell the bully that it's not appropriate behavior? The bully already knows that. Schools can place students in ISS or suspend them, but that's about all. Big whoop...

Friday Thoughts

oh4theluvof - There is a reason that teachers have to "focus time on things that fall under the parenting title". Have you been into a classroom lately? I have, and there are posters explaining how to behave! Social skills are not a strong point with people these days...we need to learn again how to be polite with each other, and since the schools have accepted the responsibility of feeding and clothing our children, why not have them teach non-academics, too? No wonder kids have homework...there isn't time to do school work at school anymore.

School absentee rate rises this week

Just one more way that the Emporia school district is accepting responsibility for the welfare of the children that attend our schools...what good babysitters they are.

Don't panic

Hey, Hartford...my husband lost his job with Didde after being there for 20 years, so we know what it's like. There are a LOT of people in this town who know what it's like to lose a job. You are not the first. It ISN'T the end of the world, and it may not be an easy go, but you will find that out as you go along day by day. Things have a way of working out. I'm a little tired of everyone acting like Tyson is the most important plant that has ever closed in this town...at least the employees are getting pay and benefits for a couple of months. What other company would do that? Not many...most just escort you to the door...
