Prayers... wow.. I couldn't even imagine loosing my son much less that young.

No clue what they have coming, but from last year to this year went down hill.. So the next guy really can't do a whole lot worse. That's the only good part about this job right now.

Comes from the "not an official school color crowd". That's why some schools go the gray rout.

Could be the Oxides and not have to change their colors. lol.

All probationary employees can be let go for any number of reasons very easily. While if on a Dual-Term if that's what the coaches have, they have to be offered the same contract with no loss of money but they could be reassigned out of athletics. (If not offered then several wright ups over the past school year along with documentation of meetings is necessary) . This is why some schools don't do dual contracts and treat coaching separately. That way they can be reassigned and can loose the coaching money since it wasn't contractually obligated. This is a double edge sword too. Because they can get out of coaching and still retain the teaching spot. Thus why most school districts do dual contracts as you resign from one you resign from both.

Used to be a good job..had some greay coaches come through lk

to much expecting immediate success. with this social media culture of getting instant gratification with likes and comments. it bleeds into sports which is hard to do especially with the situation he was going into. Not saying he did everything right. Just hard with all the extra added pressure.

I don't think dumpster fire is bad enough for this one.. its more like a mountain of dumpsters on fire. Who gets the next shot at this illustrious job?

That's a dumb reason to not play a sport. So, lets do this in football and see how it works out........yea not gonna happen because it would be called foul that they are playing schools with 3 to 4 times their enrolment, sometimes more. I see why there is no 3A soccer yet. Because not enough schools. But if their Idea was considered I'm sure more schools would play. I think the idea of them having to play larger schools while trying to develop players is too big of a task. So these school don't want to be embarrassed. I have talked to several coaches at schools that kids want soccer but because of this fact don't play. A split in 4a Soccer would increase small school numbers leading to the formation of 3A soccer faster.

There are 253 boys teams and about 250 girls teams playing soccer in 4A. If there is no 7A next realignment they should split 4A soccer. If UIL is all about the kids then this would be the best things for a lot of schools. The numbers would be different of course from football but the disparity would be lessened to the smaller schools forced to play these bigger teams. Split the 253 teams into 127 big schools and 126 small schools. this would give 16 districts averaging 7.875 teams. meaning mostly 8 team districts with a few 7 team ones thrown in. I know a lot of coaches who would travel further to be more competitive. I haven't looked at tennis yet but the same could probably be said about that sport too.

Geez no bueno.. somebody should be charged with mismanagement of funds. That's crazy. Its not hard to figure out a budget and what expenditures you can have and can't have. You have enrolment. Then, just knowing kids, a just that to 92% per campus then get the estimated WADA and ADA to figure out how much money you could have . There's a budget you can start with. If your in the red there then figure out what you need to or can cut. Class sizes may be bigger, you may not have that extra AP or upper admin but with time you can get there. There is literally a budgeting and estimation course taught to be a principal and/or superintendent. I have taken them.

Like Karnack shut down? lack of fund or bad management or is TEA shutting it down?

Yea.. crazy in some cases.. see who ends up getting this one.

I didnt even know it was open. Crazy

Intresting. Wonder why places get thia way?
