Why don't you tell them how you commented on my physical appearance and eluded to knowing where I live.

I'm completely unconcerned with you, but when you brought up where I live, you brought my family into it. I take threats from convicts seriously.

I have the PM's, remember. Sorry that you went to far, but that is exactly your problem. Not mine, and not the webmasters. It is your words. No one elses.

It was all pretty funny til the safety of my family was brought into question.

One of has pretty much PM'd everyone on the board at one time or another with some sort of personal attack or another.

And the other is me.

What is posted by James is quotes supposedly from me is an outright lie. He knows this too.

It is no reflection of who or what I am. It's just another example of what he is.

It speaks for itself. He can lie about me, threaten me, do whatever to me he sees fit. But when he chose to stalk my family at my house, it went too far.

I encourage those who've felt the wrath of him to share your stories with the CM. Share the threats you've endured. Share it all. At some point, enough is enough. And for me, that time is right now.

"I'm a big guy and I can take care of you. Why don't you come visit me at my house and we can talk face to face."

Allen ISD has been rated a 5 star district for the last three years by the State of Texas Comptroller's office. This is a combined measure of student achievement and fiscal responsibility.Plano is in that group and they just had a scandal reveal someone stealing close to $8M. Guess the standards aren't high? Did you know Wylie ranks just as high for a longer period of time?

Allen iSD joins a very elite group of districts (only 17 out of more than 1000 districts in Texas have achieved this.)Interesting, just about the same amount at the highest tax rate allowed by law.

The number of National Merit Commended scholars has increased 50% in the past two years. Any amount would have looked better than before. Plano KILLS us in this category.

The graduation rate is over 98%. 89% of AHS graduates (Wayne's letter notwithstanding) go on to enroll in two or four year colleges.We are in an affluent area and studies show all schools in affluent areas have a high graduation rate.

We need to change that? We can always do better. National Merit Scholars needs to rise dramatically.

The TRE was a result of the 2011 legislature. Louise's advocacy was ahead of the recent 2013 legislature which did result in funding relief and which I expect will result in M&O tax relief this year - largely due to Louise's influence.UNREAL. Sorry. That is totally off base. She and you despised Sharpiro and Paxton and you/she gets no credit for getting relief. This was purely a result of the legislature running into more money. We've been running at a deficit since 08 and if it wasn't for Obama stimulus funds and the district raising our taxes we would have had to make some tough decisions. None have been made. It's always easier to spend more on the credit card than it is to make cuts to the budget.

The meeting in September 2012 was a culmination of several Board workshops where certain trustees were unwilling to spend any money on additional teacher compensation. Hence Louise's exasperation. Yes, the conversation lasted 40 minutes and at the end of the day which way did the vote go? Thankfully, it went for the teachers.I truly wish everyone would watch that September 24, 2012 Item 4B meeting. It's an eye-opener on just how passive Louise is. It's the same cute-and-cuddly message revealed.

It is easy to stand up for teacher pay when there is a budget surplus. Louise stood for them when it was hard to do so.Really!?!?!?!? WHEN! We had just passed the TRE and we had $2M in the fund balance we could use. WHAT DID SHE DO THE YEAR BEFORE when there was no room and it 'was hard to do?' She denied the teacher raise.

The list goes on and on and on. Does knowing this influence your vote? I am thinking it will not. Spin, song-and-dance, cute-and-cuddly messages don't persuade an informed voter.

Eight people sat around my kitchen table and addressed those letters. At least 5 of us have no children in the schools. But these folks are still working for what they perceive to be the best interests of ALL the children in Allen.

We saw Wayne's campaign treasurer on the list and chuckled but spent the stamp anywayHow big of you...very mature.. We thought it would be good for his campaign to know all the negative things we were saying about Wayne and Mark. Exactly nothing. They don't exist. It is all positive.

Most people say they move to Allen because of the schools. I think that was a smart choice. This school district that is a crown jewel of the community and the envy of many is a product of hard work and quiet, effective leadership of people exactly like Louise.

We are lucky to have her. I think the smart vote is to keep her.

Gentle Webmaster,

Thank-you for wisdom and tolerance. I have not seen anything new of substance in some number of days. Early voting starts tomorrow. I am withdrawing from this thread until the election is done.

It is time to vote.

And sometimes, it makes us worse off. (last year for instance)

Unfortunately... due to a prior commitment I won't be able to go to the Wednesday meet and greet at the library. Does anyone know what times the candidates will be out at city hall in their tents meeting people? I don't imagine they will all be there at the same time... but just a time when I can meet the most would be best.

Just to keep this post on topic, I am going to vote for the one whos following doesn't scare me away from them.
