The Process Of Selecting Superintendents Has Become Dysfunctional And Driven By ‘Insiders’; The System Itself Sabotages Any Genuine Business Or Academic Accountability For Students, Parents, Teachers, & Taxpayers
If local reformers lose the magic moment that is now before us to bring actual business and academic reform to Katy I.S.D. it will be because of a failure to address decisively the issues involved in selecting and evaluating the superintendent of schools. In Katy, we have a superintendent working under an existing contract. While that makes the immediate path of reform vastly more difficult, there...
Commander Frailey & His Puppeteer Working Majority Board’s Oppressive Tactics Of Protecting The System Must End: It’s Up To The Public To Help Proctor & Huckaby Eliminate This De facto Government Censorship Immediately

Alton Frailey is a highly-paid government bureaucrat armed with a contract that does not serve the interests of public education in general or Katy I.S.D. taxpayers, students, parents, and classroom teachers in...

FLASHBACK STORY: An anonymous blogger recently injected the subject of race as a basis of criticizing new Katy I.S.D. school board member Henry Dibrell, an African-American. This particular blogger, when confronted, ‘doubled-down’ in her comments. For those of us who are engaged in the battle of ideas on public education reform, we find this assault on Henry totally unacceptable. Over...
The Work Of Katy I.S.D. Trustees Dr. Bill Proctor & Terry Huckaby At Monday’s Workshop Is Confirmation That There Have Been Big Changes At The Board Table And Why They Need Reinforcements In May To Serve Citizens Even More
I don’t know what is the worst development or ’story-line’ for the status quo defenders of Commander in Chief Alton Frailey’s ‘Center of Truth’ operation that emerged from Monday’s workshop meeting of the Katy I.S.D. School Board: That the administration of Commander Frailey is showing signs of crumbling beneath the weight of its own arrogance… That...
In Public Education & Katy I.S.D., “There Are Different Perspectives About The American Revolution, Depending On The Side You Were On”: How In Holy Hell Does District Justify Including This Description Of The American Revolution In Staff Development Training ‘Teaching’ Teachers How To Teach?
Long after your children have forgotten the myriad details and factoids about the historical figures of the American Revolution, there is a deep understanding your Katy I.S.D. wants them to cherish for their entire lives.

Congratulations To Bill Proctor, Henry Dibrell, & Terry Huckaby - Your Victory Represents An Enormous Opportunity; The Roadblocks Now Morph From Political To Legal & Institutional And They Are Taller & Tougher To Navigate
The public educational establishment in Texas is in shock this morning. They did not believe this could happen. They didn’t want it to happen. They are going to do everything they can to undo it, suppress it, fight it, whip it, and marginalize it. Katy I.S.D. is an iconic district to those who prosper within the industry’s billions of dollars of largesse. From the Texas Association...
Center Of Truth And Alton Frailey: Validation Or Repudiation - There Will Be No Rewriting Of The Meaning Of This Election When The Results Are Announced Later Tonight
This is a perfect election to gauge the soul of a community and the philosophical principles of people who call themselves conservatives by great majority in Katy. When last Chris Crocket and Judy Snyder faced re-election in 2008, there were just under 4,900 voters who went to the polls to send them both back to the Board along with Eric Duhon who chose not to seek his position again this year. Crockett...
