BigWhoop Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Never good when you see your name in the paper with the words "misconduct + bank account." But remember, these are allegations that have yet to be confirmed. I'm not making any judgments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedFan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 How long has this been going on? If he is axed who is going to be his replacement? I have got two names in mind that would be a good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing Coach Martin Bass is planning on coming out of retirement and getting that girls hoop coached up if this job does indeed come open.

TheShadowKnows Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Board to consider Floyd termination Details Category: School News Published on 04 January 2017 Written by Mount Vernon Optic-Herald A notice of a special called meeting of the Mount Vernon ISD Board of Trustees was posted after 5 p.m. on Monday evening with the purpose of calling for the termination of Brad Floyd, girls athletic director at the school. The meeting has been set for 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, January 5 in the Administration Building Boardroom. The special called MVISD Board meeting set for 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, January 5 has been relocated to the High School Lecture Hall to accommodate a larger than normal audience. The posted agenda states that the board will consider a recommendation to terminate Coach Floyd without pay for good cause. See the rest of this story in the Jan. 5 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald. https://mt-vernon.com/news/schoolnews/16970-board-to-consider-floyd-termination.html So whomever caught Floyd with his hand in the cookie jar had good cause? But when you got a good chance at winning state, the town rallied behind Floyd. So either Floyd will get in trouble and has to find another job, or the school will not be able to hold anybody accountable with money and you get a free for all. So who is the fifth placed team in the district? Could they make it in now and Mount Vernon be held out of the play-offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedFan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What was the outcome. I just saw him in Winnsboro at the MV/Winnsboro game. None off the coaches acted like anything was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bock Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Slush funds are against the LAW. Bottom line not an argument with ya about the law... most booster club funds are not governed by district business procedures/policies. This is fact, look at your local school's board policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bock Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Are most booster club accounts set up by the coach with him being allowed to freely make withdrawals and deposits? Most booster clubs are started by a coach/director at some point and then as coaches and parents move in and out of a district the club remains in it's original intent.. The booster club is there to generate funds that support/supplement students who participate in a particular activity. The club will determine their own budgetary procedures, good BC's have a defined and written set of rules and require a vote and/or two signatures on expenditures.

You didn't answer my question...are booster club accounts set up by the coach and is he/she allowed to deposit/withdraw freely without the knowledge of school or booster club officials??

EasyCompany Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 No, coaches can not withdraw monies from a booster club account. Only the booster club president and treasurer can write checks from the booster club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bock Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 You didn't answer my question...are booster club accounts set up by the coach and is he/she allowed to deposit/withdraw freely without the knowledge of school or booster club officials?? yes it was answered,.it depends upon the booster club operating procedures which is what I typed If the club procedures are not in print then at some point you will have a problem. Use of booster club funds get people in a bind when there is not a paper trail and clear procedures are not followed. Pig, I dont have a dog in this hunt, I am not attempting to help/hurt/defend/persecute anyone just pointing out a couple of facts. Since I have zero knowledge of the particulars of what you typed, for me to make a judgment would be a assumption on my part. I wont take that bait.
