For five years, I've watched dozens of Teachers burned at the stake (not just Palazzolo) of bogus Level 3 grievances; victims of sexual assault/harassment mocked by Board Members, leaving in tears; others with destroyed careers; one suicide; another death. All the while, all of them waiting for Sutherland to speak out. To reach out to the DOE or FBI. Did she? NO. I don't understand how you can look at yourself in the mirror every morning and DO NOTHING.<br />How can you sit back and play happy face with these pit vipers while the Palazzolo case and others linger? What kind of twisted logic are you operating under? What parent or grandparent SITS there with Dugan still employed and not charged? Sabotin carrying on an affair for over a year and now allegedly being re-hired? Washington being re-hired? Sorum allegedly allowing his home to be used to carry on a relationship between a teacher and student? I can no longer support someone who continues to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing while crying; "I'm just one person". Moreover, you betrayed your own supporters and undercut their effort to finally bring in outside eyes.Sick and Tirednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-12287176993836554082015-07-26T19:39:13.584-05:002015-07-26T19:39:13.584-05:00Amen.Amen.Retired Employeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-16846526254419271202015-07-26T19:05:19.655-05:002015-07-26T19:05:19.655-05:00"She regularly checks out her thoughts and ac..."She regularly checks out her thoughts and actions with trusted and invested parties, usually teachers in the trenches."

First off Sammy Monge is under qualified and incompetent to lead HCM or central administration. His degree is in bilingual education, how does that translate into leading HCM? He's out manned and overwhelmed! Sammy if you're reading this, RETIRE!!! You already padded your retirement enough to live comfortable. Let's take a look at Monge's accomplishments since he took over as chief. He started by eliminating all the library aids and teacher assistants in order to save the district from the being in the red, and the district is still in the red bleeding more and more money. Instead of trimming the dead beat top heavy administration he went a head and went after the library aids and teacher assistants making a whopping $17,000 annual salary. Next he made Staffing, Recruiting and Certification Departments reapply for their jobs, his reason is that HCM as a whole had poor customer service, fast forward today and nothing has changed except different people. Now you think the district would of have made senior cabinet members and directors reapply for their jobs since all they're doing is riding the gravy train. To make matters worse he didn't even fill all of his vacant positions in addition to under staffing his department. Next are his "Coordinators," if you want to call them that. Rafaela Gomez with a GED promoted to Coordinator when there were other applicants with Bachelor and Masters degrees. The irony is Rafaela supervising people under her who have college degrees. Imagine that a person with no college degree supervising people with college degrees, and that's in a public education setting. Only in FWISD!!!! Which brings us to Rosibel Jimenez, from secretary to Coordinator with no college degree while other Coordinator positions are required to have a college degree, only in FWISD. Pretty good accomplishments for Mr. Monge so far, right? Let's not forget people constantly picking up the pieces left behind by Monge. Next everybody keeps talking about Dugan and Sabotin. You wonder why there are pedophiles working in the district? That's because OPS is just as corrupt as HCM. The main corrupt person being Michael Menchaca. Now you would think that having egg thrown at his face during the Palazzolo trial that he would be relived of his duites. Let's not forget Menchaca hiring former FWPD officer Patrick Aguilar to do fingerprints and background checks. The reason he's a formal police officer is because he was forced to resign and give up his Texas peace officer's license because he was caught writing false tickets to boost his overtime. If you need proof google Patrick Aguilar FWPD, he has since moved to California only to be replaced by a formal constable. Notice a pattern here? Now why would OPS consider to even hire a police officer with red flags? All of this under Monge's watch. Impressive list of accomplishments for Monge so far right? Until there's change at the top with a new out of town Superintendent expect more of the same, especially if Sorum is named superintendent. FWISD you made your bed now sleep in it. The start of school is just around the corner, I wonder how many schools will be under staffed or staffed with under qualified teachers? Courtesy of Mr. Monge of course. Monge it's still not to late to retire, August 31 would be ideal. You burned so many bridges it's only a matter of time before more people start exposing your insecurities and the skeletons in your closet. But don't fear you could always be the towel boy for TCU's football team. As for me I'm enjoying retirement and watching this saga play out.Retirednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-84385175987597648672015-07-26T14:41:52.281-05:002015-07-26T14:41:52.281-05:00No more bullying- you need to check the definition...No more bullying- you need to check the definition of bullying! I simply said that only voting no without informing the masses is FUTILE! The majority of our community has no knowledge of what's going on!!!! I DO BELIEVE in Ann's morals and ethics and STILL I want to hear more OUTRAGE! Most people ( the uninformed) just think Ann is difficult or crazy which is so far from the truth!!! She has consistantly voted on the side of "right" sadly nothing changes because she is the only opposing vote! Uh anyone recall the most recent contract that would have meant millions for Ramos and was averted? Well, that was because so many in the public were made aware that even the usual suspects had to vote against that! Well that is the approach that should be taken on ALL OF OUR MOST CORRUPT ACTIONS. All the info that is allowed by law to share, should be shared and THAT will GET SOME most needed change! For the record, I support Ann and I WALKED FOR HER, VOTED FOR HER, & I would do it again because she's undoubtedly a good person of integrity!Voternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-40376286209302796322015-07-26T14:04:15.506-05:002015-07-26T14:04:15.506-05:00PHS parent, don't you have enough to worry abo...PHS parent, don't you have enough to worry about at your own school??

Look at the chronology of events. Needham rewarded her for her treachery. I do not support Tobi or the other boobs on this Board. I did support Ann but have ABSOLUTELY, as a common Teacher, been stabbed in the back by her (as we all have) for the LAST TIME. I was a member of the so-called "silent majority" but no longer. You need to stop kissing ass and wake up. The ONLY hope anyone has of cleaning this mess up is the FEDS - not TEA or that worthless D.A.

For these 1 or 2 people assailing you, Palazzolo is the end-all and be-all. For the rest of us who come here and your blog, though, his is a regrettable incident, but hardly the most important issue confronting our District. Many of us are just regular teachers who are daily appalled by the waste and mismanagement confronting our District- of which the legal fees spent on his case are a miniscule part-and we appreciate your efforts in shining a light on all the backroom deals and incompetence, which rob our students of much-needed resources. You need to get four other votes with you to make change happen, and you will not get that trying to please some of the implacable people who comment here.

As a matter of fact you should focus on being the firecracker that voters believed you to be! You are right, you cannot sway the other members but you sure the hell can let the public know as much truth as the Law allows! In doing that, I believe that there's hope in swaying at least 2 maybe 3 more into voting the RIGHT WAY! You know it's not enough to be the only opposing vote! The Only chance we have is for more and ACCURATE information to be put out! You Think those other members will continue to vote for the corruption when more of our community is aware? HELL no they aren't because then they look culpable for not righting every wrong made public. You can choose to oppose any wrongdoing by voting no but without the public (the mainstream who don't read the blog) knowing why or any details, YOU just appear to be difficult, crazy, or unwilling to play nice!

In other words, you warned them what was coming and they changed course. Then you wrote the DOE letter, the BOE gave you the committee position and you withdrew the agenda request on Palazzolo's case - a matter which has far reaching impact on every teacher and employee in FWISD. This is not the first time you have sold Teachers and students out. In my opinion, it is the last time. You are a fraud who cannot be trusted.
