I have nothing to hide. I have been happily married to my second husband for 24 years. A retired AF colonel with 26 years of service flying B-52's and F-111 before taking a desk job in logistics and retirement. Now working for Lockheed Martin. I raised 2 kids as a single parent in FTW working as a psychotherapist. I even have an amicable relationship with my Xhusband and his wife.<br /> My son graduated from MSU and served 2 years in Guatemala for the Peace Corps. My daughter graduated with a paralegal degree from TCC. I have 4 grandchildren and 4 step grandchildren. My husband and I obtained legal custody of my niece after my sister died of cancer. My niece graduated AHHS 2010 and is currently a college student. I have no police record not even a traffic ticket. Other than having first person knowledge about the facts related to the malfeasance at AHHS and the dysfunction of the board and central administration, I would say my life could be considered fairly boring and unremarkable and far from as colorful as some associated with this election. So please explain, either here or directly by phone 817.602.5446 or email. As I've said I have nothing to hide....so please elaborate. In fact, I double dog dare you.....lindalabeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-42965722616632054222015-03-31T12:53:59.257-05:002015-03-31T12:53:59.257-05:00I became aware of this story through reviewing rec...I became aware of this story through reviewing records....as an outsider....before the FACTS were shown to central administration. In fact, I was the first person to see all of the documentation prior to being advised to encourage taking the documents to central administration. At that time Dr. Linnares was aware of the documentation but said she was retiring and didn't care to know about it. This was August 2010. As I have been interviewed for my candidacy in District 5, I have said when we fail to address the educational needs of all children in FWISD, FWISD is simply passing along kids who have given up on school and become problems for the community at large....police, jails, in case you did not know we are building more jails than schools in Texas.... and other social agencies...kids which become problems and/or unemployable. It has been my experience as I work with parents with children with learning disabilities that when learning disabled children are unidentified by parents and/or schools, children become discouraged about learning and act out at school and in the community. This is not offered to explain away poor behavior and poor decisions by students or parents who do not understand how to get the necessary rights and safeguards for their children....we are all aware of the "affluenza" drunk driving case here....but simply an observation after years of experience of working with troubled children in psychotherapy and other capacities working with children.lindalabeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-11224234056156908582015-03-17T17:17:58.259-05:002015-03-17T17:17:58.259-05:00As a parent you have more leverage with the media....As a parent you have more leverage with the media. The media does not have to identify you as the source of the information. I was astonished when I first heard these things. I have made outcries to the DA's office, the Feds even but I cannot get traction nor have teachers or former employees. BUT when a parent makes an outcry to media, "please clean up our schools to make them places to learn and be safe" the media usually starts to pay attention.lindalabeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-1044298035029353212015-03-14T18:51:27.963-05:002015-03-14T18:51:27.963-05:00I'm calling BS on this one.

However, the story says the attack occurred in Oct. 2009. You say he was working with these troubled students in 2009-2010, so this attack occurred during his watch. Good try, though. And no, urban school or not, it's not smart for any school employee to work with students off campus unless their parents/guardians or other responsible adults are involved at the same time. That's EXACTLY how adults get into trouble with kids making false accusations against them. I've seen it happen first hand to an administrator and to a teacher. It ruined their careers in education forever.EducateThis15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-57963893231031707292015-03-13T10:46:16.649-05:002015-03-13T10:46:16.649-05:00I've got one more for you from the AHHS black ...I've got one more for you from the AHHS black hole. Do you remember the Domino's Pizza guy who was murdered by 3 teenagers? Two were from AHHS. Joe P. worked with them in 2009-10. When he was transferred by Needham, they went off the deep end. The address they used to lure Fred that fateful day was the same phony address they originally used to enroll in AHHS. The older brother was so huge, he literally threw off handcuffs as a police officer attempted to apprehend him. The only person he could relate to was Joe P. I laugh when people say as educators our responsibility ends at the property line of the school. That just proves how little you know about life in an urban school. In most cases, as illustrated here, we ARE the ONLY stability these kids have. I wonder Board Members; <br />would Fred still be alive if you hadn't chosen to "shoot the messenger"? Would three young lives have turned out very differently? Here is the CBS 11 report still on You Tube with over 1,000 hits. You fired the wrong person. Neta Alexander is still out there acting like a principal. Needham knew this story as did Speer, Reyna, Menchaca and most of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyOMZwWACCwFormer AHHS Teachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-19165213810686556612015-03-12T16:05:33.824-05:002015-03-12T16:05:33.824-05:00So why did this teacher deserve special considerat...So why did this teacher deserve special consideration? Just being a teacher in Robbins' district shouldn't provide him with protection from investigation and/or prosecution. If that ever happened where I've worked it would have been immediate curtains or at the very least paid leave while an investigation took place. I've never seen teachers given free passes on misconduct. In fact, quite the opposite.EducateThis15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-82360315518355985662015-03-11T21:43:51.645-05:002015-03-11T21:43:51.645-05:00Not so.

It included all of the Coaches statements above, dozens of letters of support for Joe P., including an offer to provide the photo of Judy Needham in bed with Perry. It was sent anonymously to EVERY sitting Board member at the time. Ray Dickerson, Needham, Jackson, Sims, Robbins, Moss, Vasquez, Rangel, yourself and whoever was in District 9 before J.R. Martinez. It was ignored. The Board knew what was going on from the beginning - even if they did not read Betty Brink's award winning story in the Fort Worth Weekly.

There is SO much more. Have you heard this one? All true. All documented. AHHS has a classroom for severely impaired students. A Special Ed Teacher - newly assigned to that room was horrified to find the students were defecating in a potty chair in the open classroom because the staff did not want to walk/wheel them to the rest room two doors down. She reported it and nothing happened. Finally she took it to UEA. They had to go to Dansby TWICE before he instructed them to stop. The Principal (who spent four days a week in classes and was never there) left and Weeks came in. Dansby of course left, And the Teacher/ She left too. She had become a target herself.

Why in God's name was Needham EVER voting on anything in that scandal let alone Palazzolo's termination? How about it Tobi? I'm singling the two of you for obvious election reasons but it applies to the entire Board. Everyone advising you from Cecelia Speer and Reyna to your attorneys (who have been there since the beginning) all knew the truth. So WHY are you continuing to prolong this mess? The Board supported Dansby in wanting to go to trial. You went. You lost. You own it. Instead you keep appealing? What does that say?
