Fresh on the heels of former Katy Tiger football head coach and icon Mike Johnston’s emergence from the shadows to support “these men” in the race for Katy I.S.D. School Board, word has now come that former Tiger all-state great and NFL player Eric Heitman has made a substantial financial contribution to help the Katy Tiger friendly candidates. Apparently, the rumors that swirled...
Saturday’s Election A Referendum On What Parents & Taxpayers Believe Is Their Appropriate Role In Katy I.S.D.
Saturday’s school board election is not a referendum on Katy I.S.D. Superintendent Alton Frailey. While he is the focal point point because of his intellectually idiotic decision to establish his administration as the “Center of Truth” on matters of public education… While he is the focal point because he once told teachers gathered in one of his self-righteous and pompous command...
Early Voting Starts Monday; Future Of Katy I.S.D. And Reform Efforts Rest On The Election Of Cynthia Blackman And Terri Majors To Establish New Working Majority On School Board
Let me present you with the faces of reform for Katy I.S.D. They are the faces of Cynthia Blackman and Terri Majors. Early voting starts Monday. The official election day is Saturday, May 12.

KISD Administrators And School Board Really Do Have A War On Classroom Teachers & Your Children Are Losing
There really is a war on classroom teachers in Texas public education in general and Katy I.S.D. in particular. Your children are losing this war. Successive administrations and school boards in Katy I.S.D. seem to be fully engaged in that effort on multiple fronts. One ‘war fronting’ in particular is the administrative process of imposing goofy curriculum mantras on classroom teachers...
Some Of Commander In Chief Alton Frailey’s Colleagues And Administrative Friends Have Apparently Asked Someone In The Public To Request Certain Information; You Know How Much I Like To Keep The Commander’s Friends Happy, So Here’s To Making Them Happy & Keeping Them Talking
Several of Katy I.S.D. Superintendent Alton Frailey’s ’friends’ in his administration at Katy I.S.D. have apparently passed along a request that the following information on the district’s state-mandated campus and district improvement plans be requested pursuant to the Public Information Act.

You have a chance in May to change the world of Katy I.S.D. by putting an electoral muzzle over Superintendent Alton Frailey’s runaway administrative team that is making your lives miserable and destroying your ability to be the best classroom teachers you can be.

An Open Letter To Parents & Taxpayers On Katy I.S.D. Election: You Need To Retake Control Of Your School District
Katy I.S.D. Superintendent Alton Frailey and Katy I.S.D. School Board President Joe Adams have turned their leadership of this school district into one of those painfully true but squeamish-to-watch political satire sketches made popular on Saturday Night Live skits for some four decades now. Together, they have humiliated themselves and this school district. They have given steroids to the growth...
George Scott Was An Intellectually Lazy, Arrogant, & Smug Idiot On This Occasion; George Scott - That Would Be Me
A week or more ago, I wrote a column on this report that left open the possibility that Katy I.S.D. had created a mechanism by which it would delay notification of next year’s employment status to the district’s classroom teachers until the end of this year’s contract period for 2011-2012. That column got more readership than usual because it was picked up by Instant News Katy. The discussion...

This is a column I have wanted to write for a long time as reformers in this community have sought to find real leaders to pursue a genuine reform movement in our school district that has been in a slip-slide of deterioration in terms of governance and curriculum for far too long. One year ago this coming May, the community’s citizens elected what we thought were three reformers in Dr. Bill Proctor,...

FLASHBACK: This Monday’s Alton Frailey-led debacle of a Katy I.S.D. School Board meeting more than justifies a walk down memory lane to the Commander in Chief’s disastrous performance in 2010 at a convocation of classroom teachers to start that school year. This is the meeting at which Commander Frailey established his Center of Truth; implicitly warned teachers that his administration...
