[quote name="BOBCAT" post="1022823" timestamp="1310052439"]   *PNG will make the playoffs as long as they keep it in their budget $$$!   *Good coaching staff will make up for whatever talent they are lacking !   * They have no more talent then other school in their district but $$$$$$ Wins games ! [/quote] Here we go.... Before anything further is said on this issue, I think it should be pointed out that before the budget cuts, PN-G's athletic budget was approximately half (that's right, half, and that was before budget cuts) the size of athletic budgets of districts of similar size (i.e. Nederland) and that our MS coaching staffs were actually smaller than the typical MS coaching staff in a 4A system prior to Coach Faircloth's arrival. It should also be noted that PN-G earns more money from football (as well as certain other sports) than almost any other school due to the size of the PN-G fanbase and the consistent annual qualifications for postseason play. I am assuming, of course, that BOBCAT is referring to the incorrect, although widespread, rumor that PN-G spends all of its money on football and football alone and that the district and community at large only care about football. Hopefully, that is a mistaken assumption.

PN-G, no question.

All I can say is it was early in the season under a brand new O and D scheme with new coaches + 9 turnovers. Even Dayton’s State team didn't beat the Eagles by that much! Dayton had its year that it beat the Eagles like a step child, but it will not become an annual event I Guarantee you.

[quote name="smitty" post="1018896" timestamp="1308268153"] But MY beliefs are consistent with the majority (75-77% if I recall right) that opposed the first bond issue.  Now, for those here:  Gotta wonder how many are employed by the NISD?    ???

That's brilliant!!   ;) [quote author=The-NHS link=topic=84302.msg1018544#msg1018544 date=1308096299] [quote author=smitty link=topic=84302.msg1018542#msg1018542 date=1308095773] You, like many, are missing the point.  If it's such a critical need and you are truly concerned then you would do YOUR part by sending your part of the bond money.  Talking the talk but not walking the walk!      ::) [/quote] Lol...this is the worst you have yet to reply with. Sending one check in doesn't solve anything. Typical small minded thinking you are repeatedly guilty of. Like I said I will gladly send a check when the bond is passed. [/quote] [/quote] [i]"A true believer would figure what his portion would have been and send that amount."[/i] - This isn't church smitty. I don't tithe to the city of nederland because I believe in building new schools. I've stated my "portion" and said twice I will be happy to pay it once the bond is passed. Your beliefs differ from everyone else on this thread because you propose cuts to the athletic budget....which has nothing to do with a bond. So right off the bat your argument doesn't even match your thread title. You propose cuts to extra-curriculars to only maintain facilities. Everyone else on this thread IS NOT TALKING ABOUT MAINTAINING. Lets repeat that. Everyone else on this thread IS NOT TALKING ABOUT MAINTAINING. If I spray perfume on a turd...it will still smell...and look...like a turd. They are talking about building new facilities (schools) for our students through a bond. I realize your reply will ultimately suck in nature but once again I eagerly await it. It has already been said that spending has been reduced in various departments and that we have not had to let any teachers go. Maybe with this reduced spending we can hire a maintenance worker to please your soul. Please reply with a relevant and intelligent post and not JUST a question. [/quote] [/quote] Ah, but are you sure they opposed the bond on the same grounds as you? Perhaps they were opposed to the bond based on the renovations as the stadium (I recall a great deal of controversy surrounding that particular part of the bond) and not the repairs to the schools.

In 8 yrs YOUR George took this country from a surplus to the largest  deficiency this country has ever known by giving giving the top 1% their tax cuts. And Slick is doing the same thing to TEXAS. I know that know one is teaching history but for those that were around, When Clinton razed taxed this country grew and prospered and unemployment went down, and when Bush cut taxes we went to  sh1T and lost more jobs than any time in history.. And all you can say is that he got a blow job. If anyone could get this country out of the Sh1T we're in now I would not care if they got one every day on the white house lawn. [/quote] I wasn't aware of any recently publicized sexual acts aside from Congressman Weiner's. Have I missed something? If you want to talk about deficits and debt, I suggest you stop blaming President Bush and start looking at President Obama. President Obama's deficit in his first term greatly outweighs the deficits of any other single term of any other presidency in US history. I would also suggest looking up the congressional "power of the purse" and the explosive increase in the US deficit following the Democrats' takeover of Congress in November of 2006. Furthermore, if President Bush's tax cuts were the cause of the economic collapse this nation suffered in 2008 as you say they are, why didn't it immediately follow the cuts when they were issued in 2001? Also, why were economic conditions favorable in the years following those cuts leading up to 2008? I would also suggest looking up the causes of the growth in sub-prime lending, as they aren't as one-sided as some have been led to believe. That growth resulted from diversity requirements imposed on lending institutions by various congressional actions over the last twenty years. When the Bush administration-run Department of Housing & Urban Development highlighted this problem in 2003 and 2007 and pushed for reform, Congress did nothing. You can say what you want about Governor Perry. I have stated multiple times that what he has done to this state in terms of education and insurance is an outrage. However, there is no doubt that Texas has fared the current economic situation far better than any other state. In fact, it is well known that Texas is the only state that showed net economic growth in 2009. This is in no small part thanks to the conservative leadership displayed by Governor Perry and a Republican-dominated state legislature. In addition, as bad as the cuts are now, they would no doubt be worse if it were not for the state's "rainy day fund," which was instituted by the same conservative leadership. You can also say what you want about "trickle down" economics. I'll let 21 million jobs created between 1981 and 1989 speak for themselves. With that said, this thread's topic is the condition of Nederland's schools, the makeup of the Nederland ISD school board, and the possibility of another Nederland ISD bond proposal. Any discussions regarding the national or state political scenes should take place in another thread. If you would like to carry on that debate, I suggest visiting the Southeast Texas Locker Room forum (located near the bottom of the main page); you will be presented with many opportunities to do so.

Im just telling you what the real qualifications are, as someone who help set those regulations and carried them out, and not some passer by that spread a rumor they heard from another student. It happens all the time in school, its called gossip. Some kids don't even know they're spreading rumors, but think its the honest truth. Also, not that it matters, but I graduated 4th in my class and went on to graduate college on the dean's list which would throw me in there as an honor student, and yet, I have lied on occasion. Not perfect, no one is, just something that happens when 1500 students talk while passing by each other. But I say let it drop, maybe they thought thats what got people in and maybe that year a lot got in and it was assumed thats why, who knows?[/quote] Right.... [quote] On another note, smitty, just because someone has an opinion other than yours doesn't mean they are drinking the "kool aid" or whatever. Passing a bond is not the end of the world. Typically, most bonds only add very little monthly to the taxes and are a great [u]Investment[/u] in our schools future. You can't build a $30 million school by cutting a budget that is slightly higher than that. Our district has made cuts in all areas this year and last, with a promise of more to come. We have lost coaching positions, charter buses, teachers who retired and were not filling positions, budgets all around. So its getting to the point where there is not much else to cut. So find another solution and quit saying cut an athletic budget that combined between all schools would only hire a couple teachers, not build a school.
