A brief blog this Tuesday-
- If you are thinking about leaving your teacher position teachers, you have about another week before you need to make a decision to find another job, or job get out of the education business . A district can pull your certificate for a year if they want.
I know administrators and head coaches are given "grace" unlike regular teachers.....And that is for another day, another blog.....
You do not " owe" the school district anything. I have seen them throw good teachers under the bus and let them go just because they needed someone else take the job....Or they let the educator go because of financial reasons, never mind soon after they were sacked( as the British would say) a new person was put in the exact same position.....I've even seen the new employee not even have a certificate for the position for which they were hired.
Side note : I understand the reasoning behind you giving a 2 week notice when you leave a job. It is where a business can find a replacement. Trouble is, if you are let go, most businesses don't give you notice, most of the time, they let you go and in many cases, security escorts you from the building. Security watching to make sure you don't steal a pencil.
Reminder, it is a job. I will repeat this again and again. Yes, you love the kids, yes, you love the job( or not) but in the end, it is how you pay the light bill.
- I know I said I will not help with you running for Buna School Board, but now is when you need to get the ball rolling.
Again, don't wait until the last minute to make a decision.
Get your name out there....Start shaking hands, kissing babies, going to BBQ link fund raisers, especially at the church level.
Go to a board meeting now. Sit in the back. Take notes, know what the actual seat entails. What you need to have to be able to run.
You must be at least 18 years old to hold office.
Lived in Texas consecutively for 12 months.
Lived within the district consecutively for 6 months.
Cannot be a felon.
First date to file for Nov. 3rd election- Sat. July 18, 2026

As always, double check these rules,other rules, and dates make sure I have not made a mistake. This is just a thumbnail sketch.
- In light of the gambling situation concerning the former Texas Tech, well, potential player.....Talk to your kids about legal matters.
Be it gambling. The Tech and previously Indiana and Cincinnati player was betting illegally underage. Also sending money out of state so others could place bets for him. If wanted, the way I read it, the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney could file felonies.
Treat boys and girls sexually with respect. They are not your personal play things. It is why I so believe that sex should be with someone you love, and I personally go a set further. But I am not going to hold you to my personal morals concerning intimacy. Just because you think you are someone doesn't mean you can treat people "however."
Talk to them about driving drunk. Talk to them about narcotic usage. Talk to them about making one misstep might ruin their lives.
It seems there are more and more parents who just think " everything will be okay." " My kid is a good kid."
Yeah, I know a former President of the Youth for Christ at Dayton High School doing " Them all" for murder while doing a robbery. Shot a woman in the head, twice so there would not be any witnesses. 12th grader. He has a parole hearing in 2036. First sent to Huntsville in 1992. He is never getting out.
I drove him to an academic contest at the University of Houston. Just he and I. And I never expected anything like murder from him. He had already started breaking into houses about 6 months before we went to Houston.
- Stay dry folks. Going to be wet this week, but, we live in SETX. This is expected.
