  1. At a minimum, Freddie the Freeloader is leaving!

    Now, all we need is an elected school board to fill out the new management structure and we'll be on our way to reducing the red-ink-bleeding from the county school system!

  8. Best choice! One of her first jobs should be to help Cathy Townsend relocate to another county. Then reduce the number of "supervisors" and return control to school-based administrators and teachers. Then tell parents to either control your children or leave the school system.

  13. It is refreshing and forever a huge relief that they hired someone with such education and great experience. Experienced "out of this country and the good ole boy system" to make positive changes that hopefully will positively impact our students and their family.

    I do not know her personally, but am forever greatful that they didn't hire "from within". I do not know Cathy Townsend either but forever greatful that someone realized that our County school and spending needs a change in the right direction.

    Out with the old and in with the new and hope for a POSITIVE CHANGE!

    Btw.....I did know Frederickson, and I honestly get the feeling that he hates and demeans all women after meeting with him several times!! I am a very educated, professional woman..(not that this matters). I showed him respect but he had ABSOLUTELY NONE FOR ME! His spending Tax Payors money is SO out of control it's ridiculous!!
