"Poor Jimmy. He can't get over his daughter not getting hired by the MCBOE. How long will he pout?"

If "making AEA mad" is a concern of Mr. Dobbs, then perhaps he should step aside and let someone with with a backbone sit in his chair.

Hank will do a fine job as maintenance-transportation director. He is just as dumb as the guy who just retired, so it will not be much of a drop off. I can't believe that the people of Priceville continue to vote Jimmy into office. His own kids went to Brewer instead of Priceville so that tells you where his loyalty is.

I think Mr. Summerford will be wonderful at this job, just as he has been at the other jobs he has held. He has made positive changes in the positions he has held and in the children's lives he has influenced. As a former student of Mr. Summerford, I have much respect for him and feel certain that he will excel in his new position.

Hank will do fine.

Jim needs to leave MCS board

he is the one not qualified for a job

He should enjoy this ride, because it will be his last as a board member (when he can be voted out)

Someone is angry all th time.

I have a lot of problems with the board especially Mr. Balch, speaking of enjoying the ride! He is not there for the children AT ALL he is there to put in who he wants in a position friends,family before his time is up and he's doing a good job of it. He has caused a lot of people to lose their jobs with no thought so that he can put someone he knows or owes a favor in. And speaking of NOT QUALIFIED he is not professional at all!! He says he has an open door policy, it's only open to the ones he wants to come in anybody else and he has his secretary to get rid of them. Same goes for phone calls, if he thinks it's about a problem you can bet you won't get through to him. I hope he enjoys his ride because it will be his last also. But the only problem with that is he will get a cushion job at the board when he steps down like some others I know.

How does the board not know what they're voting for? Could it be they're not looking at their packets? How do you vote to tenure someone when they've not worked for the 3 years required for tenure? I'll tell you how it's when you don't do the job your put in there by the voters for. It's obvious they are not looking at the packets and are just ready to get out of the meeting or maybe their just letting Mr. Balch tell them what to do wait, is this a board or a DICtatorship?? Maybe it's time we elected a new board they're getting to comfortable in their positions and that goes for YOU TOO Mr. Balch!!

Poor reader

Mr Balch is the best MCS has offered in a long time.
