Those supporting this effort are the usual suspects. Holman enjoys a no bid contract with the school board but has no problem throwing others under the bus. Really rich! How about we clean house by starting at the top and stop protecting the highly paid administration. Call them all on the carpet and let each defend their jobs and usefulness to the classroom. Let those board members that supported this give up their full time salaries for part time work as they willingly destroy others livelihoods. If you think for one minute all custodial workers do is clean you haven't spent much time in your local school lately. Outrageous that this board has put the district in the position of ignoring state law thereby being fined by the state and axing employees who are the least paid and some of the hardest working. The school system ALWAYS overestimates potential savings. They work the numbers so the numbers work for them. What a hot mess!! But of course, the system is always very good at placing blame anywhere but where it really belongs. The state who doesn't give them enough money, the voters who voted down their tax increase,blah, blah, blah. Margaret Smith needs to be moved along before she implodes the whole system. And yea, yea, the RFP will require that they hire current employees; at what rate of pay, what hours, what benefits, what security checks, what work responsibilities? A low ball bid will surely result in the worst possible answers to these questions. Children's safety will be at risk and teachers will add custodian to their already overburdened job description. No, I'm not one of the affected employees or a relative. I'm just disgusted.
