  Exactly.  The board is not the final authority on anything now.  The conservator has veto authority on any decisions.   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]

  Probably thought she could avoid prosecution.  Wont work though.

  No, their not.  The conservator is in control now, and they will be unemployed very soon.  The board of managers and new super will be in place by June 15th.

Game over for the board and Chag.

  Keep on hoping,  I guess.   :rolleyes:

You are correct.

First two taking a plea deal,  waiting to see who they rolled on to get the deal....   [Hidden Content]

  Oh good, a quote from a guy who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.   LOL

  No idea.

  I would disagree.  Most people are calling for the District executives and the board to be replaced due to incidents. No one is saying that the teachers or individual school admins are at fault. They (teachers,students) are the ones suffering due to the problems at the top level in my opinion.

One got a MIP and a disorderly conduct.

ok,  I wasn't sure.  Anyway, from my experience, prom celebrations rarely have chaperons away from the prom itself.

One fired, one retired.   [Hidden Content]

I will use my own, thank you very much.   [Hidden Content]

  ?? Sarcasm?  I doubt there were either one there.

    You really want to open a can or worms??  With not a leg to stand on by the way.

Not sure LCM ISD will have any thing to do with it.  The parents and kids will have to deal with the police.  The only upside to this was that the kids were not driving.

  I could make a comment on that, but i won't.   :ph34r:

No problem

McCarthy already took a deal, how much you want to bet he rolled on someone?

I wonder if we will see any RICO charges from all of this? [Hidden Content]

Yeah I was looking for school related too and didn't find anything .
