Just go to the District office right now and take a look around. School system money and staff time being wasted to accomodate the Okaloosa County reject Alexis Tibets. The office that was occupied by Mrs. Ragle was not big enough for her. She's having the copy room rewired and painted to make a new and bigger office for herself. She's ejecting one employee from her office to make a conference room for herself. As part of Carlene's "restructuring" plan to get rid of Mrs. Ragle and add Alexis Tibbets, Walton County school system is the only county in the State without an ESE department. It's sad, but apparently the majority of Walton county citizens do not want the waste and incompetence to change.

There's no doubt that Carlene Anderson has thumbed her nose at ethics, the contract with the union and has discriminated against former teachers who apply for reemployment. It's amazing that the education law in Florida actually promotes discrimination. How many minorities have been hired? How many teachers over 40 have been hired? It's been pointed out here that experienced, older teachers have been replaced by younger, inexperienced teachers. Isn't that age discrimination? Of course the school district doesn't have to disclose this information. I've even been told that one principal has terminated teachers because they aren't Baptists. I'd love for those people who are great pals with school board members and Anderson to ask those questions and get an answer. Nobody else can.
The School Board members are just as big of sleeze bags as Anderson. They don't care about the School District employees unless they are related, friends, or family of friends, ie the good ole boy network. If they did, and truly wanted the best for the counties school system, they would stand up against Anderson and try to initiate changes. It's obsene at what they get paid for doing nothing except shake their heads yes for Carlene.
In Florida, with corrupt public officials like former house speaker Ray Sansom, the laws are so full of loopholes nobody is investigated. If we had laws that worked, some of our elected officials would be in jail for accepting bribes and violation of the election laws. If I'm not mistaken, it's a felony to accept more than $5000 from a single contributor. It's easy around here to get thousands from a single contributor. And contributions by well heeled people are bribes. If you don't believe that just look at former Alabama governor Don Siegleman. He's in jail for accepting a bribe.
She seems to have been silenced. It's too bad that some of the outrage focused on the BCC isn't directed toward the School District.
Why don't the teachers have a viable union in Walton County? I know some teachers are members of the WCEA but they don't seem to do anything. They don't even have an address or phone number that I can find. Their Facebook page shows 15 members, mostly people who aren't teachers and there's been no activity since July, 2011. That's a bad joke!
Unfortunately Florida laws render a union with practically no power. The laws pretty much allow an employer to do anything they want and it leaves employees at their mercy. Generally, "right to work laws" mean no employee rights. In the case of the school system it's something that is severely abused. When you won't even give an employee a reason for dismissal, it's just cowardous and pathetic. To have such little respect and regard for the livelyhood of good employees, is in my opinion, immoral and unethical. As we all know that's common around here.
