And the two women that helped to make some appetizers and cut the cake and decorate the tables in a very conservative and lovely fashion did a great job. They did it on their own time.<br /><br />The speeches were short and thoughtful. <br /><br />Both Dick and Paul were gracious and humbled by the turnout and the kind words.<br /><br />The reception was a place where people could come and say thank you and farewell. Dick and Paul deserved at least that much, if not more for the time and energy they have spent for years of service working on the Board.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839871488857585373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-50320879462776928222010-11-29T22:05:57.237-08:002010-11-29T22:05:57.237-08:00Any reports from the event?Any reports from the event?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-36969650383787115672010-11-28T18:42:36.984-08:002010-11-28T18:42:36.984-08:00Did anyone get an advanced copy of Strange's s...Did anyone get an advanced copy of Strange's speech?<br /><br />I need to know if he is going to go off on people, if so I'm going to be there with a video camera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-59582206920200499182010-11-25T15:20:48.936-08:002010-11-25T15:20:48.936-08:00And who pays for the extra custodial work required...And who pays for the extra custodial work required by contract ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-23542127547007133162010-11-25T13:56:40.170-08:002010-11-25T13:56:40.170-08:00Gary,

This is not an extravagant country club affair. That would be inappropriate. <br /><br />I am one of the first to complain if the Board does not do their job but part of what is lacking in this district is a sense of community and pride. I can name a million reasons why that is the case. I understand that teachers and staff don’t feel valued, parents don’t feel heard, etc… but service is service and a sincere thank you to Paul and Dick for their time and effort is only right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-56231249185937489992010-11-18T14:28:32.670-08:002010-11-18T14:28:32.670-08:00Geesh..some of you are getting your panties in a b...Geesh..some of you are getting your panties in a bunch. Let see for Dick who has given over 50 years of service to MDUSD and to Paul who has given 5 years you want to whine about this. How much could cake and cookies with beverages cost - a couple hundred dollars. <br /><br />If you would educate yourself, there is a board budget item, I would bet the money is coming from there.<br /><br />So go have some cake and cookies, drink a cup of coffee and say goodbye to Dick Allen and Paul Strange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-24316439057307838402010-11-18T14:18:24.153-08:002010-11-18T14:18:24.153-08:00I don't understand.

Its the "Board of Education" sending the invite, on official "letterhead" with the seal, being held at the District office "after hours", and presumably the District paid for any invites sent by mail. They can pay for parties, but can't pay for benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-32304078078023048482010-11-17T20:19:40.578-08:002010-11-17T20:19:40.578-08:00Who is paying for this shindig?Who is paying for this shindig?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-60998577081791316812010-11-17T20:18:21.921-08:002010-11-17T20:18:21.921-08:00Hopefully, Strange is in "character" and...Hopefully, Strange is in "character" and calls someone an enemy of the kids of MDUSD during his speech.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
