Today kicks off the school season. My wife works for a year-round calender and has been at work for over a week. There is a planned "pep rally" again. This time it's taking place in Bluffton, and training is going along with said mandatory cheering. It's said to be different as south of the Broad (SOB) are going to train in the morning and north of the Broad (NOB) are training in the afternoon. With the big pep rally right in the middle. Interesting is that only the NOB is getting a lunch, the SOB's will just have to suck it up. Not that a district provided lunch is all that great anyway.
But it does make me wonder how all this works, how much the north and south has "come together" as it were. I'm thinking that it really hasn't come together at all, but that's just me. We'll see. Meanwhile the rumor mill has been churning up some rather juicy bits.
It seems that Valerie Truesdale might in fact run for State Superintendent of Education. Which is fine... for her, but yet another changing of the guard at Beaufort County. Which means they'll have to find someone else, and everyone will change around... again. Aye Yi Yi. Maybe it's just a rumor and we'll hear nothing more about it. The Election is in 2010. Traditional Calendar School starts in another 3 weeks.

May it be a good year for Mrs. Hatter. Please do keep writing about school stuff, MH. As for the Truesdale rumor, I've been hearing versions of that since shortly after she arrived. She was a speaker at a luncheon I attended last December, and it was discussed at our table then.
I don't blame people for being ambitious, but there can definitely be a public cost when the ambitions have to do with education and/or government. And the two seem to be very closely connected. Maybe the bright side is motivation to at least build a good record.
Whatever happened to the high paying administration job she was supposedly bucking for in the private sector last year?
Ah, the rumor mill. It never stops churning.
