bullying and harassment are seen as acceptable ways of silencing anyone who dares to speak up for themselves, stand for their convictions or question their trearment. Very well said Julie. You definitely were not the first and you definitely wont be the last. Its sad to see you go but Im proud of you for taking the same step I did.  You will be much happier not having to deal with these people anymore.    Gary Stewart

I wish the town good luck in trying to replace Donald Pigeon, I dont think anyone can fill his shoes, My Uncle Bob told me whwn I met him for the first time, I would NEVER meet another man like him. So far my late Uncle Bob has been right. Good Luck. Whens the party Don?

I love that first photo. It reminds me of a picture I once took of Lake Conigsee in Berchesgarden in Germany, I sure wish I still had those negatives. Beautifull picture.

Thank you 3plusK, I get so wound up at some of these issues because I was there, Scott was there, Bill was there, Michelle was there, Sue was there but we arn't anymore. This thread was about busses, not the merger and I respect what trussel had to say and the little knowledge I have of him, I respect his thought out opinions and wish he would run for the school board. Im interested in knowing his findings but how deep can he really go or information can he get in an organization that says basically its really vermont maple syrup when its actually from new jersey. When the school consolidated everything with the Supervisory i.e. building and grounds, bookeepers, human resourses, curriculam coordinators and so on it didnt work that great at the start and the answer to me was give it time, Oh yeah, Mary Baker too, she left, she took care of managing everyones pay, vacation time, sick time etc... Every other week on my pay stub there was never a problem in 10 years. accurate as accurate can get. Its not they way anymore, the central office is questioning people in june about 4 hours you took off in november. This system is still broke or should i say that the staff is not receiving the same excellent service it had, paid for by the taxpayers, before the consolidation. 1 maintenance supervisor for 3 schools is not working. Fairfax and Fletcher in a merge will pay approximately 70 percent of this persons salary. Georgia the other 30.Are you getting what you pay for? What happens when Fairfax and Fletcher in regards to maintenance and custodians? This is huge people. Maintainig your core plant and grounds is as much important as teaching a child to read. Where I work now I have a Director who manages 6 schools. It CAN work but you must have hard working dedicated knowledgeable employees who are taken care of, and most of all Respected. To do that you need Supervisors and Administrators who lead by example and have the ability to hold someone accountable rather than one that has compromised their position of authority and integrity and is forced to turn their heads and look the other way.People that will act on something immediately rather than wait for someone tto complain in WRITING. Do your jobs, BE THE BAD GUY, thats what you get paid to do, not shift the blame. I am 100% in favor of keeping the busses and even making it larger if need be to support the system. They just need to put some management checks and balances in place. As far as the merger, I need to go to the meeting and ask some questions. You can only squuze so much juice out of an orange and with everything going on and systems still broken you either need better oranges or more oranges.
     Last but not least Henry if you read this please remove me as a member with the ability to post on this web-site, Ill send you a separate e mail. Ive said what I said, going to take splotts advice and move on. If Ive burned any bridges so be it AT LEAST I DID IT IN WRITING>

First off, Ill quote Henry "did i miss something", Everybody is missing something. And Chris, come on now, the Fairfax News was never told officially so you could not print it. You sound like the Suits running the school, "unless your complaint isn't in writing I cant do anything about it" I like what sdogallen wrote, a bus mechanic at fairfax for 13 years. What appears to be happening on the OUTSIDE isnt really whats happening on the INSIDE. The Administration, Superintendant, School Board are all aware of it but nobody has voiced their complaints "IN WRITING" therefore nothing can be done about it. Chris, your my friend and you know. PRINT IT. Im in favor of contracting the busses out for one reason and one reason only. Trussel said to take the personal part out of it, if I were able to do that I would be 100 percent in favor of keeping the busses. When is this meeting. I dont work for BFA no more.

Thank you for that info Suzy, I moved to fairfax in 77 and left for the army in 81 but had the great pleasure of battling an upperclassman like Geoff. He was a Winner. I would always see him at home baseball games with Dianne, he had no kids playing but surely loved the game of baseball. Lasltly, Thank You Mr. Brown for what you had to say regarding Geoff. This place sorely misses a man like you that was so dedicated to ensuring we all got educated and were still allowed to be free thinkers. God Bless you Geoff and your family, We all mourn now.

Rod Anobe, gamingweasel and fletchergram, You 3 couild arrange to be on the same social networking site like facebook or some other rather than use Henry's to call each other names and interfere with a thread that is very important to both the communities of both Fletcher and Fairfax.

I rent in Fairfax therefore the outcome will not neccesarily effect me financially either way. I will vote. I am weary when the state says their going to give a reduced tax rate for 4 years. What happens after 4 years? I could have gone to the meeting and asked this question but chose not too. Also, What about maintenance? Will the Fletcher tax payers be responsible for paying for a new roof on the fairfax school or vice versa? Why is Georgia not on board with this? The 3 schools have consolidated bookkeepers, corriculum coordinators, building and grounds and soon to be transportation. Between Fairfax and Fletcher alone they are paying in my best estimate 70% of these peoples salaries. Are these 2 schools receiving 70% of the services they are paying for?  In the area of maintenance they are not. I like the idea of shared teaching, resourses, lower taxes and better learning oppurtunities but I must question the maintenance responsibilities carried forward in this merger since I have read nothing about this.
