Always Hopeful Buna, Believe it or Not.....But, Going to Tell You What I Think Anyway....

 Today, Buna Public Schools starts with a new Superintendent of Schools.( Yeah, I know it is a school holiday, but it was me, well, I'd go to the administration building, at least for a little while.Then again, I would have been there Saturday for at least a little while....)

This is what, 5-6-7 different Superintendents since I retired from Buna ISD. 

This time, Buna ISD has hired someone who is from Buna, taught in Buna, worked in the community, knows the parents, the kids, and the faculty. 

Now, will the job be easy?

 Anything but.....

Already I am hearing stories about people working for the district that people are unhappy with. Very unhappy. So disconsolate the Buna ISD Board of Trustees ain't happy.  

I am hoping that there is less micromanagement...Let people do their jobs.  

So, in typical fashion the new Supt. of Schools walks into a hornets nest. That's just typical in 2025. Like Harry Truman popularized the slogan, " Can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." In other words, the job is going to draw heat. There will be people unhappy with what you do. Literally the job is to try and keep the fewest people mad at you. 

And in the coming 25-26 school year, who knows what the economics is going to look at for public schools. Literally schools are going to get less funding. 

Sadly, because of this, there will be less of everything. 

Again, I am remind I am so glad I am retired.....Then again, I don't want to have a parent conference with you.....I'd be too tempted to say, " Remember when you did........" 

I wish the new Supt. of Schools good luck. She will need it, and she knows it.

 I really wouldn't want the job. 

( Seriously, I am so cheap, everything would be seen from a microeconomics point of view.)
