    WCSD Superintendent Race

    Qualifications to run for superintendent? Got to have a high school education, as long as you have that your in and the job can be yours! I'm confused if Anderson had a closed door meeting with no witnesses then how does your source know EXACTLY what happened? Right, they don't, but...

    WCSD Superintendent Race

    Don’t you know there are always two sides to every story, making assumptions that you’re getting the whole truth on one side is just plain short-sighted. The unfortunate thing is that Ms. Anderson doesn’t get to come on all these social media sights and explain what really happened...

    WCSD Superintendent Race

    Has anyone seen all the new campaign signs for Rosemary Ragle? Someone might need to tell her that ALL of her signs are out of compliance (illegal) for not having the campaign disclaimer on them, wouldn't want someone to turn her in.

    WCSD Superintendent Race

    Ms. Ragle, you mention "a large number of citizens want change." The last time I heard a Democrat wanted to make a change, our country ended up as it is now. Change is good when the product of the current establishment is inferior. However, as I have seen through my research, Walton School...

    Butler Elementary needs pressure washed

    The bronze sculptures turn green naturally and is considered a verdigris process. The rust stains are typical of all buildings in that area due to the mineral contents in the water. Before complaining you need to check out other public buildings in the area. I am not sure if the Principal of...

    School Board query

    The only thing I said was that he is normally quick to post on here, and I haven't seen him in a while... not sure what inference you were talking about, I thought it was pretty self explanatory. I believe this thread was started back on the 16th and since then there have been some specific...

    School Board query

    Mr. Nelson, in one of your fliers you sent out, you state that you support (Teaching reading by strong phonics curriculum as opposed to whole language approach.) although you don?t have an educator?s background you obviously have some knowledge of teaching reading to be able to make this kind of...

I am sure you are concerned about your child's education and the education that he/she is receiving at a Walton County School, but...

    Out of field teachers and notifications

    Being a retired teacher I understand in field/out of field reporting. Substitute teachers are not considered full-time employees therefore they do not have to be reported as in field/out of field under the No Child Left Behind Act. As a veteran teacher I can tell you that a teacher that has...

    When is missing, actually missing?

    In regards to Sharon Roberts comment concerning students left on the bus, it sounds like she doesn't bother to check her facts before she spouts off at the meetings, surely the Superintendent could give her that information if she would have just asked. Whenever I have needed information I...
