You see A.D. I do not want my words to be turned around on me and used against me out of context. I don’t want someone’s interpretation of a conversation to be reworded and sent around to their internet buddies as they try and intimidate them.

So, to that end, I would ask that you send your email to hello@babytigersays.com. We can talk about anything you want and I will be open and honest with you just as I have been with my posts on INK.

Babytigersays: Teachers, can we talk?

Are you constipated? Need a couple doses of salts? You need a bar of soap.
You STINK on INK again. Too close to slander! Where is the violation button the thang?

Mayde Creek- Use either paper or Machine but machine takes 10 minutes to explain (really about 15 seconds)

Cinco Ranch=either due to less equipment than usual

Another unmaned- Paper no choice

ESC- Paper machines for disabled

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that a district that prides itself on uniformity; ie teachers teaching the same thing, on the same day, with the same materials, has absolutely no uniformity at all in how you vote at the different places.

I am not saying anything unethical happened but you sure do open yourself up to speculation when everything seems so different from place to place.

This is the 4th school board election I have voted in and the first time I was ever asked to use paper. If paper is the law, was it the law in 2011,2010,2009? I agree with one of the postesr above- Katy should get out of the election business and let some entity more capable take over.

Three poll watchers were in the room. Mr. Blackman, Mr. Majors and Mr. Duhon… Those, as I understand it were the official poll watchers from the candidates and they were there from the beginning… To imply that poll watchers were not allowed in the room is misleading… People showing up three hours late, flashing a card and demanding answers might be considered to be more than just observers… Are there any comments from the poll watchers who were there from the beginning that indicate foul play?

Mr. Adams was in the lobby all evening and I have not seen anything but speculation that he was in the counting area… Can anyone verify that he was let in past the posted sign?

As a voter and taxpayer here I find it disturbing that SOME Precinct chairs start to speculate and post information on their Facebook page that is nothing more than speculation, rumor or wishful thinking… I would expect a Precinct chair to act in a manner more appropriate to the position they hold…

Michalsky and Griffin had around 18 large signs stolen off of I-10 24 hours after they were installed… That’s about $800 dollars worth of people’s hard earned money that someone decided to remove… I’m pretty sure none of our guys did that so that only leave speculation as to who would think it is an okay thing to do…

I’m fairly positive any money paid for marketing goes into the general fund and all of the schools benefit from it… You might want to check WHEN that awning was decorated before you try to tie it to this election… Let’s not look for any facts because they just get in the way of the narrative…

LOL this is getting out of hand and its time we became the Katy INDEPENDENT School District again.

Parents should require more information before these cost go up. PERIOD

the pettiness of the “get along gang” dont stop at counts, they steal signs, out of people’s yards.
Our kids will never get a break for education and out teachers will never get what they need to educate.
BUT! Sport coaches will get what ever they want. I bet everyone Loves the Awning that Cotton Purchased for the Football Stadium. Oh yeah, no honesty here at KISD. They teach the golden rule.
He who holds the gold – Makes the rules.

Incidentally, I know a lady who worked for Karen Rue at Golbow Elem. and then for Terri Majors. She made it clear that she would not be voting for Mrs. Majors based on her methods and style of leadership. She felt we could do better. Pretty strong “un-endorsement” for me personally. Kind of like “would you hire this person again” when someone calls you for a reference.

Looking at the numbers going into the final day of voting we had a good feeling that the numbers would play out close to what they did… I actually thought we would do better than ~55% for Bryan and ~47% for Charles but I’m an optimist (58% and 50%). The biggest surprise was how well Mrs. Majors did and how poorly Mrs. Blackman showed…

I would look to the Facbook postings of others to see the real thoughts about the evening… Don’t try and plant that seed on this side of the isle…

The integrity of an election conducted by a school district employee, who works for Supt Frailey, who openly endorsed his candidates and then won, should lift a few eye brows in our community. Does the school district follow the election code of Texas?

We heard Supt Frailey say that the district broke state and federal laws when his staff gave Joe Adams a list of every students’ emergency phone numbers. Joe Adams gave Becky Fox a copy which was later determined by Frailey to NOT follow the laws. These phone numbers were used during the Nov 2010 Bond Election by George Huntoon’s ROBO caller for the bond to pass.

What has happened with these events? Joe Adams was made president and Becky Fox was made V-P of the BOT.

* There were the ethics violations by Ann Hodge.
* A previous board of trustees hired Frailey without his superintendent certificate, but teachers have to have one to get hired by the district.
* Former Board President Judy Synder has not filed her accounting reports from last year’s BOT election.
*There was the firing of 500 teachers with $180 M in the local rainy day fund of the district. We had near riots in Katy schools over it.
*Bullying and intimidation happens in our school district to students, parents, teachers and staff.

Basically nothing happens in Katy when the school district breaks the laws and no one seems to care. The authorities cannot do their job until someone files such a complaints.

Let the dust settle and see what happens. Maybe this time we can clear the air and get back into integrity, honesty, and educating our children well.

I hope the real winners are our children and not the vendors.
