Good for her. She tried to bring change and was critical of Narcisse. I guess she finally got tired of everyone's bullshite, realized it was a hopeless waste of time, and "peaced out"

Wonder if there is more to this.

She quit pretty quickly. You can’t effect change by quitting

That's why no one worth a damn doesn't run for anything, no one wants to deal with that shite.

School boards in La should do like they do in Texas. Don't pay them. Then you are more likely to get people who have no self interest and likely cares a little more.

Awesome, she now has a ton of influence or ability to put the brakes on the rest of the board. Oh wait.

A little anticlimactic. She should have posted a manifesto.

So she gave up and left the kids at the mercy of this school board.

Gwynn Shamlin, the general counsel for the school system, said Sunday that the resignation will require that "a notarized document must be sent to the Secretary of State."


She should print out the email, have it notarized, and submit it.

So I don’t know how it came out but I’d imagine it was something like this:
1. Katie comes up with one really smart idea. Presents it to school board and they shite all over it.
2. Katie comes up with one really smart second idea. Presents to school board and they shite all over it.
3. Katie says “I gotta get the frick out of here…”

Pretty sure her husband posts here, if he isn’t already in this thread.

And she will continue to vote democrat. And another democrat will fill her seat. And the cycle will continue, spiraling to a complete collapse.

She is a cop out.

If a person makes a commitment to something they should follow through.
Unless you have medical issues or things that happen out of your control.

They would hate me on the school board.

I would go to meetings with a rocking flat top, coaches whistle, coaches shorts, and coach shirt.

Then I would have real magnet programs.

Real vo tech type school with real world training in Hvac, diesel tech, auto tech, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry both finish & framing.

I would work with the mfg’s to get these kids on getting their feet wet in the basics and up to date techniques.
They would still learn the basics Math, English, science, computer literacy, history, and PE.

Have performing arts school.
Medical focused school.
Computer technology school.
Business school accounting, marketing, sales, and management.

Except my programs would be hands on. Teachers, that don’t mean sleeping with students. Means giving the kids the basic skills and adding some newer techniques in that field.

Then have your basic Magnet schools. Have 3 in the system. 1 in North, 1 in South, and BR High.

Then I would go back to neighborhood schools.

Then have 1 school for trouble makers. Have it run with former drill sergeants and coaches as they know how to deal with punk as$ kids. In groups and 1 on 1 to help the kids. People that deal with young adults, especially young adults with behavioral problems know how to deal with these kids to turn them around.

Problem is they try to mimick this.
They don’t follow through with real world training.

The no reason in her resignation is strange. She obviously disliked the superintendent; however, quitting increases his chances at a renewal. So, this whole play is just weird.

not really. Why run and accept the position just to peace out with double barrel middle fingers to every person in her district that voted for her.

Seeing it firsthand was probably making her realize her party is the problem. A true believer would likely quit to remain in ignorance instead of facing such a revelation head on.

Good for her. Anyone in office who opposes crappy political agendas in Louisiana has 2 choices. 1) beat your head against the wall in a hopeless losing battle. Or 2) give in and become a part of the problem. And far too many well-meaning elected officials here end up choosing #2 once they are faced with the overwhelming truth that politics in Louisiana is rotten to the core. She preferred walking away to either of those choices.
