Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 We contacted our superintendent when we were getting nowhere with our school district. The principal told him unless he was prepared to " give us what we wanted " he was wasting his time by contacting us. He chose not to waste his time, never listened to what we had to say, and instead, found himself in the very uncomfortable position of having to listen to me testify about the mismanagement of his district in a hearing in front the the Texas Senate. He made a hasty retreat after putting on quite of show of jaw-dropping and incredulity. Very, very satisfying. > What is the object of her meeting with the superintendent?
