Let's talk about our schools

Recently, I was given information about the Tunica County School District that I would like to pass on to you.  This concerns our failing school ratings.

The last year Gerry Gentry was Superintendent our schools were rated as follows:

A: Dundee Elementary
B: Robinsonville Elementary
C: Tunica Middle School
D: Tunica Elementary and Rosa Fort High School

*Note: I thought Gerry Gentry was a poor excuse for a Superintendent.

The first year BS Chandler was Superintendent, our schools were rated as follows:

B: Dundee Elementary
C: Tunica Middle School
D: Robinsonville Elementary
F: Tunica Elementary and Rosa Fort High School

The second year BS Chandler was Superintendent, our schools were rated as follows:

B: Dundee Elementary
D: Tunica Middle School and Robinsonville Elementary
F: Tunica Elementary and Rosa Fort High School

So, the Tunica County School District has gone from a C to a D and now to an F under BS Chandler's tenure.  You know what else?  Three of our School Board Members, Cotton, Hardiman and Anderson voted to give the Superintendent a $15,000 raise.  Unbelievable.

To do the same thing over and over and expect a different result is the definition of craziness.  We keep giving the schools a lot of money and the kids are not benefiting through better education.  Can't we just stop all of this craziness and cut off the money?
