PS - I Stand Corrected 😉(UPDATED)

 

As of midday today, in addition to the people below, 6 departments and over 200 people were fired from Central Office thus far.

Though he said it would be administration, it was actually mostly administrative assistants, mail room clerks, dock staff - no one in leadership at all - as well as those close to retirement (who don't have a deal like my husband made, see below post).

And our superintendent, the highest paid superintendent in the state,  making by some estimates close to $600K a year with all the perks included - who tried to bail to another state when all of this started coming out - did make a sacrifice after all - he selflessly sacrificed his $25,000 life coach benefit! 😂

Let's all take a moment of silence for the loss of our school superintendent's beloved life coach being removed from the school's budget, as he was clearly doing a great job anyway! 😂

*sarcasm*

So now what, now it's your life coach's fault the budget is so screwed up and you spent too much on luxury items for yourself and travel?

PS - the LHL newspaper just sent an alert that the schools are are saving $1.9 million with staff cuts, but the schools refuse to say who and what was cut.

Oops, I just told you - here and in the post below, without giving specifics 😂

Sorry not sorry - because the lack of transparency with this sh*t is disgusting.

Also, $1.9 is not enough to cover the deficit, and had you cut some of the salaries and Hays-grade raises that you give to your "directors" - of which you already have too many - we'd be good!

One thing you definitely will not hear about in the paper, though, is the life-coaching benefit loss, but it's common knowledge at Central Office right now.

Life-coaching benefit 😂

Sigh, if you don't laugh, you'll cry ...

I used to support this superintendent when he first got here. I actually teared up, SO proud that Lexington hired a black LGBTQ male as our superintendent.

In fact, at first, I believed the backlash was racist, homophobic nonsense - until I could no longer deny it wasn't, the concerns are legit and there is proof. 

The backlash is legitimate over his luxury spending, cronyism (mostly MAGA people, white and black, believe it or not), his lack of transparency, his blaming others for all of it, and his efforts at perception control.

Essentially, he's like the black LGBTQ version of Trump.
