1st time she was recognized she gets 3min. 2nd time, it would be up to the board to set the amount of time at recognition.
She is going to win.
The officer made it way worse by taking her down and arresting. If he would just have kicked her out, this would not have been a big deal.

So you have ties to Fontana.

Was the raise based on the improved performance or was it to bring the SI closer in line with other SI's?
The SI thinks he deserved it based on improved performance. The Board (Fontana) gave it to him because they wanted to.

Never heard of Fontana before this and while I live in LA have no dealings within Vermillion parish. So you can scratch "good instincts" off of as a quality you believe you posses.
Scratch "ability to understand sarcasm" off of yours.

Did things get out of control? Yes, of course. It never should have got to the point it did.
I just believe they were there to vote on whether or not the SI deserved to get a pay raise based on his job performance, and to a lesser extent on what his level of pay was compared to others in his position. And I'm not even saying that he did or didn't deserve a raise. I have no idea one way or the other.
Do teachers deserve a pay raise? Probably so, and once again I have no idea one way or the other if they do or not. I don't pay attention to it, but if they do that discussion would be for another day/meeting.
What I do know, is for right then and there; it didn't matter how anyone got on the board, what teachers did to improve scoring in the parish, what salary teachers make, or what equipment classrooms in that Parish need. They were there to vote on whether or not the SI deserved to get a pay raise based on his job performance.
Everything else, which includes most but perhaps not all of what Deisha said, DID NOT MATTER.
And btw, my sister is a teacher in LA.

Agree to disagree here. When the vote was long deadlocked before a board member died and the President appointed a member that would vote the way he wants him to, it does matter.
When the SI is getting a raise for performance and no one else is, when the district reportedly had a $3 million deficit last year, it definitely matters.
You can't just insulate that moment in time from everything else. It all plays a part in how it got to that point.

Dude, the "Fontana's cronies" comment that you got bent over was SARCASM. Stupid arse.

OK. Its clear that you have an agenda, and refuse to see the whole picture.
If everyone thought like you, government would be able to get away with anything. Somebody stands up to something that is corrupt, and you have an issue with it, because to you the only thing that should matter is a vote, and not the why or how they got to that point.

You just don't get it, and you won't. You're trying to compartmentalize issues, and in any other case, maybe you could. But not in this one. They are all related.
This is not the first meeting that these issues have come to light. This has been a recurring problem with this Board.

Louisiana Politics..........and this is one of them that we know about, how much of this goes on without notice?

Probably tons. Its also one that most wouldn't know about if it wasnt for the teacher. Its even known now, but not being brought to light like it should be in my opinion.
And if a lot of people think like GeauxLSUBengals, everyone should just shut up, get in line, and take it up the arse.

The most unfortunate part about all of this is that this Chick who got arrested for speaking out against the School Board had a very unique opportunity to address the real issues.
Instead, she and national media spotlight shined on women's rights and police brutality. She should be ashamed by the course she took. She could have hammered the real issues that she initially took a stand for. Instead, she went for the scripted lines that big networks handed her and the handouts that the lawyers are suggesting she take.
fricking unbelievable.
