td Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hard to pass a bond when some(alot) of the people in the community are not pleased with the school board or admin. But back to the topic LCM FOOTBALL PROGRAM. It will not happen until some big changes are made on the school board and admin. LCM has the kids they just need someone that cares about them and teaches them football from Jr. High to High School. Best of luck to the Bears.  Some in the LCM community have not always agreed with a few of the decisions made by the board and administration, but you can say that about almost any district anywhere. Football is king in Texas...that's plain, simple, and easy to understand. Football and all other sports are extracurricular activities and enhance a kids high school years. The school board's and administration's top priority and responsibility is to solidify the academic standings of the school district for the kids of that district. They are up to standards on that. The football program is definitely in trouble at LCM and the board certainly plays a part in correcting that, but it will take even the "right guy" a while to turn it around. Why would a "quality coach" be drawn to LCM? I agree that the board and all of the administration have done a great job solidifying the academic standing at LCM. They should be commended for that. I'm not sure you can draw a quality coach at this time. I may be wrong but I think you are going to have to get a young energetic maybe first time head coach to take the job. Maybe an alumni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD, they may not want you to know where it goes. If it goes to a worthwhile cause like Project Safe Graduation then you may pay the fine, think at least the money is being used well, and keep using the phone during school hours without giving it much thought.

Normally I would be up for that but not today. Plus I already said I was done making points about this. Again the choice isn't mine because I don't have a kid in the district.

tvc184 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 How as an adult that owns your child's cell phone do you pay the school $15 to get it back. I say if you want to put little Johnny or little Sally in SAC then do so but there is no way in he........ that I would pay a school to get back what is mine. Just my opinion. If you don't pay the fee, you lose the phone. A school district can ban all cell phones, pagers, etc. by students at any school event or school property. They can also dispose of the devices or charge up to a $15 fee to get it back. You might not pay to get it back but how many cell phones do you feel like purchasing?

Let me say this again for all of you that aren't reading the whole thread. My children don't go to that school. It was a conversation about something that I didn't understand.
