That person plays you and your supporters like a fiddle and controlled this blog like the puppet master. You are still hung up on that person? You continue calling him a name but proclaim he is the most childish. Please keep it up, I have $5.00 on the office pool that you will keep posting and posting and posting until they come back. Keep it up. Thank you all for all the fun.

$5.00 says I become a target.

hmmmmm

I attend school board meetings and pay my 4 cents per copy for weekly board notes from Mr. Gibbs. I share them with Cutler PTO and everyone on my email list. Yes I will consider starting a blog, I have never done that but I am willing to learn.

PTO is working very hard to have a great field day for our students and we are also planning a big back to school party.

bvmother, we know what you are saying. You cannot talk to emt and nickle if you support anyone else or you do not start with how sorry you are for them.

emt, many people challenged you and you did not respond. harleyrider, parrothead, mrwilson at times, and others. Class82 said you were "played like a fiddle". They were just more pc.

Anyone holding grudges from elementary school or high school days should consider calling Dr. Phil to deal with the chip on your shoulder before next school year begins.

My name is David and I support the points made by moveon. He could have been my brother, sarcastic and stubborn. All the people hurt by moveon would have been cheering them on if they were fighting for your view with that sarcasm. I agree he/she is probably 100% for the good of any school and child.

Best Wishes to all, enjoy your summer, and try to look forward to this new adventure. It, in the long run, will be GREAT!

I have moved on! Life of course goes on and I get up everyday and function, so do my kids. They have no idea that I think this could turn out badly. They will BV with pride next year and if they are treated as equals, then I will be proved a fool. Since that seems to be a goal of some of you, prove me wrong.

warriorhearted, moveon was not childish just became very defensive. and how many times could moveon say "i will leave you" and you people comment back?

mrwilson, you sunk low to start the personal attack.

my friends and i enjoyed the beginning but the end was bad for all.

we will accept everyone at bv and lh, even the bad spellers.

The power point presentation Mr. Gibbs presented at the public meetings also targeted eliminating the assistant superintendent, district office support staff and casual employees. According to state figures Mr. Gibbs quote 7.87 special area employees could lose their jobs in the near future.

If you think the cuts are over, you are going to be very disappointed. This is just the beginning. Stay informed now, don't wait until it is to late.

..."A close examination of our five-year forecat will quickly indicate the we should be considering all options, reguardless of the challenges associated with making those decisions. In fact, it may be in the district's best interest to make ALL of the proposed reductions in the next two years in order to maintain a positive cash flow"

"They include:

*Reduce onr employee from the Treasurer's Office staff ($40-45,000) *Reduce one office secretary at Warren HS ($35,000-$45,000) *Reduce one Maintenance Employee ($40-45,000) * Reduce one Custodian at HS ($30-35,000) *Reduce Industrial Arts Position at HS ($70,000) *Deny open enrollment to several students at Warren ES and reduce 1-2 more teaching positions (savings would be offset in part by a decrease in open enrollment funding from Marietta City) Savings vary from $35,000-$60,00

The following is taken directly from the Superintendents April 10, 2008 Board Notes.

"After the current round of proposed reductions, we will have decreased staffing by a total of 26 Full-time Equivalent employees. We have reached a point where it will become increasingly difficult to make reductions without harming programs. There are some additional areas where some savings may be garnered."

It was made very clear at the meetings that this was not a fix all. I just wanted to help you from your point of view because you could not make the meetings from where you are. I agree that things need to be monitored but the new tax change on businesses was much more harmful than the state let on in the beginning. My accountant had been warning me that the state could not answer all the questions being asked by them. She was very concerned about how this would effect the school funding and it sure did. If you want more details I can get them for you. Thanks for being so concerned about us. We just want to heal and come together as a district for our children. The government needs to fix the problem with funding.
