"TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS" bachman-turner overdrive
And we been takin' care of business, every day
We been takin' care of business, every way
Well attended the August Painesville City Board of Education meeting Monday evening.
Speak of the dog days of summer?
Let's get to the highlights;
First off our district just doesn't have a very stellar reputation.
This is not due to the excellent Future Business Leaders of America Program run by Miss. Raport and business advisor Pat Brown from Avery-Dennison. To very dedicated people to this program.
Harvey High School finished Nationally in First place in the national FBLA competitive event in Atlanta, Georgia in the field of Digital Video Production
Sierra Johnson
Brooklyn Jones
Were recipients of this award.
Harvey also placed ninth-place nationally in;
Emerging Business Issues
Isaac Mendez-Gibson
Ben Pacheco
Katie Rupert
Also Miles Hammod was recognized for finishing in the top ten two years in a row. (hope I heard that name right)
I realizes National FBLA awards are not as sexy as a State Championship in a major sport. But take it from me a father who had a daughter participate in FBLA it has served her well out in the real world.
More good News!
Lake Erie College for the first year and for future years will be awarding a $4000.00 scholarship to a Harvey student. This will be a four year scholarship they will receive $4000.00 for all; four years.
It appears LEC is reaching out to Painesville will Painesville reciprocate?
Senior Chris Parcel was the first Harvey student to receive this award.
This plus the usual business.
I see where a second grade elementary teacher will now teach Spanish at Harvey? Very diverse teachers?
It was point out that for most students the first person they come in contact from the school district is a bus driver. Come on Hal put a big smile on your face and welcome all your rider's to their school day. EVERYDAY !
Now as I mentioned the SRO for Heritage was on the July agenda and we were told there were questions. It will be on the August agenda. Well it wasn't and I asked why? Seems the turmoil at city hall has caused the contract not to be finalized yet. I was assured the Chief Powalie and Mr. Haffa had worked out the issues as I was assured an SRO will be at Heritage on the opening of the school year.
Oh, almost forgot;

It seems to be this Presidential election is starting to remind me of the movie "Wizard of Oz"
First last week Trump got a Heart, this week we hope he gets a Brain. This along with the other candidate getting the Courage to just admit she screwed-up with the server?
Yes, we are all the munchkins and the Flying Monkeys? that's Congress! Oh, how I wish I could kick my heels!

One of the things I'll have to get used to again once school begins next week is hearing Hal yell at, and lecture, the riders on his bus, most of whom are Mexican, as he circles Parkview Drive. I can only imagine what he'd really like to say to them.
well I have been told Hal acts in a professional manner,
I suppose Hal's behavior could be considered as acting professionally, if said profession was "Trump supporter heckling protestors".
I do disagree with Yelling at children, but first, define yelling. Is one raising their voice to be heard over the kids? Put yourself in a bus drivers position. You are in charge of the safety of 50-80 children. 90% don't speak English? How should it be handled? Get rid of the English speaking drivers and maybe only hire bi-lingual drivers? This is done for the secretaries and aides? Why don't you do a ride along to see exactly what they have to deal with? Help write all the bus reports then deliver to the principals? And then do a follow up to see what discipline was given/if any? That would be of help for you and the drivers.
It's sad I believe the PCLS has two people working in PR and this goofy blog. is doing their job?
Must be off until the 17th?
223. Only one person in PR. The old one retired. The new one is excellent, actually knows and uses technology! And Hispanic.
If it's the 2nd grade teacher I'm thinking of, she used to teach at the high school, and is returning and speaks fluent Spanish. So I guess they are diverse.
Hal must face a conundrum everyday as he goes to work? Knowing your job is only because of the people you wish weren't here? Suck it up Hal that's a cushy job you got their boy!
5:51 If the people Hall wished weren't here...er...weren't here, Painesville would be Mentor. Seriously, this all started in the early sixties when Term was just a boy. You can find the council minutes at Morley library where the developer of the Great Lakes Mall wanted to build it in the township and wanted the city to annex the property so he could get city utilities. Around the same time, the county was looking to move their offices to Mentor. Painesville vigorously opposed both movements. They said the mall would bring riff raff to Painesville, and pride wouldn't let them give up the title of county seat. Mentor got the mall and all the business that followed, and Painesville became the place everyone poops on, and really needs to be wiped.
