4everbandgeek Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 as to Glenn Wells/kilgore/CH---What I heard is that Kilgore has not had their official hiring meeting yet, which delays Glenn's resignation, which delays the job opening, etc, etc, etc. Boards and districts should have weekly or at least bi-monthly hiring meetings this time of year. The clock is ticking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonkeydishwasher Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Alto has an opening posted through region 7. Atssb and Region 7 have a listing as of today for UG. Word is Aaron Handorf is going to replace him. (That was his asst.) They are still going through the process of interviewing and such to make it legal. Unless something drastic happens.....Aaron will get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everbandgeek Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 wording on the Region 7 site is "Assistant Band Director on staff to assist." So they are going to hire somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Grapeland is now looking for a new band director. Kind of sad to see him go. Maybe a little off, and awkward socially, but he was able to help rebuild the band program. When he came there were around 12 people in the band, and their were over 30 in the band last year.

Paradox Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Driving through Queen City on Highway 59 this week, I saw a restaurant marquee that indicated that Chris Brannan is leaving Queen City High School. Maybe he wants to see if he can make it with the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjamesgate Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Maybe the administration should be downsized. ??? The school district as a whole is going through a reduction in force, as are numerous schools across the state. Athletics lost 4 coaches. Several teachers affected as well.

stjamesgate Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 But how many, if any, from administration? No idea. How many would you suggest? If each campus has a principal and an assistant principal don't think that would be the place to cut. Don't think there is an assistant sup, gotta have an superintendent. Most have a tech and curriculum director, QC's is a combined position I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the job of the school board and superintendent. But here's an idea. Why not consolidate Queen City & Atlanta into one school district but retain the two separate high schools? The resulting entity would need only one school board and superintendent, while also eliminating the duplication of many expensive staff positions. This would allow the existing schools to maintain their identities, histories, and traditions, while saving hundreds of thousands in expenses - and in taxes. Times are changing in public education. Maybe it's time to look at expense cuts from the top, rather than always from the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjamesgate Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I don't know this of course, but I am not sure how Atlanta tax payers would feel with their property taxes going to Queen City for the maintenance of that school. I understand though the idea of sharing certain administrative positions. But I am not sure that is how it would end up. If you did that, the school of the district goes up and therefore administrative positions may possibly end up increasing anyway. Part of this reminds me of Conroe ISD considering passing a bond to build a second football stadium in The Woodlands to accomodate the 5 high schools they have. People in the south of the county(The Woodlands) were for it, the north part (Conroe and Caney Creek) opposed. Reason? North montgomery county didn't want to share tax dollars with south montgomery county for the building of a new stadium. It ended up passing with the help of Woodforest Bank as a sponsor. It's not my place to suggest a number. That's the job of the school board and superintendent. But here's an idea.

Paradox Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 How many assistant superintendents does Atl have? Got me. But they have a gigantic, palatial admin building and the parking lot usually seems pretty full. Probably waaaay too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbi Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Got me. But they have a gigantic, palatial admin building and the parking lot usually seems pretty full. Probably waaaay too many. ATLISD has 3 Asst. Supers. - Student Services/Transportation, Director of Curriculum and District Finances/Business Operations. However, Atlanta is in MUCH better financial shape than Queen City I.S.D. because of having better financial planning, spending and overall management of funds and fund balance, which they have over $8,000,000 in reserves. Not to mention the $2,000,000+ worth of grant money, that has been used for district wide technology instead of using their own district money towards such things...no other district has the technology resources that ATLISD has, not even the larger 4A districts. Seems to be ATLISD is not the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
