President Clutter to the Rescue

With a potential 3 million dollar deficit looming in the near future, contracts not signed for the service personnel, teacher contracts nearing their end, and contract attorney, Mr. Breth, charging tens of thousands of dollars for everything except contracts, issues and concerns about Trinity South abound.  Add to those the insurance dilemma and the multiple on-going lawsuits. With all of these major issues President Clutter has figured out how to save the day. She has filtered out all of peripheral nonsense and has gone directly to the heart of the problem. She has caught the baseball team (well, at least Coach Levi) purchasing some extra hats. Let’s see: we spend around $8.00 per hat, Levi purchased an extra 16 or 17 hats. Doing the math, bankruptcy is averted. We have potentially found as much as $170.00 savings. We can now breathe a little easier.

Please understand that it is possible for hats to get lost, ripped, filthy or just forgotten.  I think we would have to ask the coach how many we normally use. Of course, he is the one who ordered what he felt he needed in the first place. There will always be a need for additional hats.  Another question for the president concerning Levi:  is there a reason why you are also attacking his attempt at securing a chauffeurs license? It is required in his contract; therefore, he must secure one. Just so we all know, he is paying for the training on his own, and he does the training during his lunch break. While we are talking about examples of likely abuse of authority, let’s look at the accusations made by the President toward the lunch personnel. The actual complaint is that the employees are BUYING food from the company that sells to the school. Will these board members ever stop? Do some of the members not realize that they are only Trinity School Board members from gavel to gavel? They do not have the right to make decisions, changes and adjustments when the meetings are not in session. Each board member is a normal citizen during all other times.  

Here is another Leviism, it appears that king I mean President Clutter has found another way to save millions, or at least another $30.00 or $40.00 dollars. Baseballs, yes baseballs and it appears we possibly have pictures to prove it. There were two gentlemen at the baseball practice taking pictures, we assume of the baseballs in the field. Consequently Bobby Jones then approached Levi and informed him of a need to begin accounting for the baseballs used.  Give me a break, this is ridiculas.

In my opinion it is time for Dr. Kasunich to stand up and say enough is enough. Moral at the schools is at an all time low, certain board members are micro managing every aspect of the school system except the big stuff like, education. Dr. Kasunich is the only local person with the authority to say “stay out of my schools” and “let me operate the schools the way I see fit” however he has yet to put his foot down. Dr. K if you continue to wait it will be too late.

The people of the Trinity School District are very lucky that we have Chris Chambers spending many hours of his own time, researching, attending meetings, and being our watchdog over the insurance program. He has been asking the right questions and making sure that every concern is addressed. Chris was placed on the agenda for last weeks meeting to offer his take on the insurance situation. Chris presented a very concise and informative statement that certainly put things into their proper perspective. I also ask that if you see Chris, thank him for his efforts. His do-diligence has allowed us to express our expectations from the financial leaders of our School Board.

I will advise everyone concerning the time, date and location of the next “meet your board candidate” as soon as possible.
