Tonight's Board of Mythomania's, aka Board of 'No Taxpayer Friendly Members Here' Public Meeting!?!

Just an update: Just for the record - been told that all 9 members of the Board of Silence Voted Yes to place this ill-conceived and outrageously overpriced $189.5m Bond Referendum on the ballot on December 10th - in SILENCE and without comment or discussion, of course.

Well, this is interesting. Just saw the agenda for tonight's meeting and I don't know - maybe it's me but wouldn't you think that the most important thing up for vote tonight over there on Mythomania Lane would be that idiotic $189.5m December 10th Bond Referendum put together by Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi ands his band of architects?

If so, then why wouldn't it be highlighted on the Summary on Page 1 of the Agenda? You have to scroll down some 50-60 pages or so to see it's even up for a vote.

That's Nice if transparency isn't your thing, don't you think?

But you know what's important for them to highlight on the Summary Page? The Superintendent's $24,553.35 in Merit Goals.

Hmm...let's see, a Vote on $189,500,000 or $24,553.25 - I wonder which is more important for the Public to be aware of and to know?

Ok, so let's play this one out. You know this Board has a history of putting together sophomoric merit goals for their Supers' that are usually laughable and could probably be achieved by just showing up for work. Even worse, let's face it - it's the teachers' that deserve all the credit for achieving these quantitative goals and yet the administrators get the money. That's a Tad Bit unfair and as is - it's silly and a waste of taxpayers' money.

Anyway, in this case, there were 5 Merit goals and you can see them below. The first 3 qualitative goals relate to computer science, math and language arts, respectively. The 2 qualitative goals relate to a Bond referendum and security, respectively.

There are 3 quantitative goals each worth 3.33% of base salary or $6,546.25 and 2 qualitative goals each worth 2.50% $4,914.60 for a total of 14.99% for a Max payout to be earned of $29,467.85.



So, how much did Mr. Saxton earn? He earned $24,553.35 and you know which goal he failed to achieve and got a big zilch, nada, nothing? The Bond Referendum one and are you surprised that they only show you what was achieved and don't show you what he was eligible for so you can see what was missed? Even worse, are you surprised that Board Prez. Shi didn't make sure that was the Bond Referendum was the number one priority for the school district?

You shouldn't be and goes to show you that this $189.5m disaster lies in the inept hands of Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi and his band of architects and a Board of Silence that does nothing about it. And you wonder why we still don't have a full time Super?

Pay attention to how each Board Member Votes on this Bond Referendum tonight - that will tell you everything you need to know about this November's BoE Election.
