Ow! My eyes! My eyes!
You have got to warn us before linking to such hellish web design.
Well, It is Tyler, Texas....that should be a given that hideous-ness is coming.
I just wish they could fix how damn long it takes to load... what's the deal with that?
Perhaps the hosting services in Tyler, TX still use dial-up.
"If you made all hiring decisions based on who was the best teacher and the football team went 0-and-10 that year, your tenure may be a little shorter. Those are the tough decisions."
May be shorter? Geez, if the football team goes 5-5, you're toast. Might as well get your Masters in Admin and find an assisstant principal job. And 13 coaches for a team? What's acceptable? 11? 10?
It should be noted that the owners of the Tyler Morning Telegraph gave Eltife up to $10,000 in contributions for his senate campaign in 2004.
Eltife has done a good job for us. I was scared. I campaigned like heck for Sadler, but Eltife has worked to prove me wrong. While he and I do the cell phone thing on important education issues, he does not require near as much attention as another Tylerite (Leo Freakin' Berman!!!).
I would work for Eltife next time around, even though Sadler would have had all of this school finance crap settled already.
As a matter of fact, I think my ISD has 13 varsity coaches. I pointed that out one day in a meeting and the AD called me that night at 10:30 to tell me I was wrong. He has 11. Whooo. Load off of my shoulders.
Likeable guy. I worked on a campaign against him the first time around, however, I think he's about the best thing we can hope for around here. Don't always agree with him, but he is truly a straight talker. Wish we could get a Dem in Tyler, but I'm realistic. Eltife isn't half bad.
