This column is not written in the kind of white-hot anger that produces a mistake. Rather, it is written with the cold fury of righteous indignation that Katy I.S.D. is under the authoritarian control of a superintendent and a working school board majority so consumed by their own arrogance that they have quarantined the public from its rightful place as meaningful participants in its own government. When... 

Default thumbnail Terry Huckaby & Dr. Bill Proctor Join A Very Small List Of Public Officials I Have Personally Covered Over A 39-Year Career That I Genuinely Respect & Admire For Their Courage

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.

It is my prediction that Katy I.S.D.’s commander in chief of the Center of Truth - Alton Frailey - and his chief autamoton Katy I.S.D. school board president Joe “Robo-Call, Fined By the Texas Ethics Commission for Campaign Violations” Adams have officially kicked a hornets’ nest left best unkicked in this matter involving Frailey’s grand vision involving tax collection...

The issue of reform in Katy I.S.D. has reached the point it was destined to reach IF members of the school board ever actually began scoring points with the public to the degree that the administration and its lap dog board protectors like Joe Adams began to feel the earth moving under their feet.

Default thumbnail 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...

It is true that the emotions that can attach to the subjects can be intense. However, there has never been a time in our community’s (or the nation’s) development that the need to face important issues with courage and strength of purpose to do...

Stupidity on steroids.  That’s the only way to describe what the evil empire of the public education industrial complex led by the Texas Education Agency has done to itself by the way it is rolling out its new accountability test - STAAR.  When the TEA is forced to announce the results of testing this spring, the bottom line will be the unmitigated disaster these results will impose upon exposing...

To See The Level Of ‘Deceptive’ Truth Parents Get From System

All across the nation and sweeping into Texas public schools, The College Board’s Advanced Placement course and testing program is deteriorating in quality and productivity moving further away from the service it has provided so well for so long.
