Most Qualified

First of all I want to say that for once the school board did the right thing in re-instating Coach Lock.  The man made a huge mistake, and I hope he takes this back to the kids and shows them how stupid drinking even 'a couple' was.  That he almost lost everything he's worked for over literally one last one for the road. But I think as a community we've shown we are not perfect and can look past ONE mistake of this nature. Coach it's all up to you now, please don't make us regret the support.

But with that said, I'm hearing to many rumors that the school board is stuck on a candidate at least partially because of race.  I'm sick and tired of hearing about racism in this town!!! It doesn't matter if we're talking about where we live, the church we go to, or our school district race should NEVER be a factor!

What I care about is that the person that comes to Gonzales to take over from the mess that "Coach" Salazar has made is a certified superintendent that knows what they are doing, and will get our kids educated.  I care that they can clear out some riff raft and make sure we have quality educators from pre-K - 12.  I care that we have someone to motivate both kids and staff to bring Gonzales ISD up to a respected school district.  I care that we get someone who will teach our kids priorities in our system.  Education first, sports and all other extra curricular activities come next. All those other things are important, both in life and for the morale of the kids, but if the kids can't read, write, add and subtract, and handle basic sciences, and most of all reasoning skills then they will have wasted 12 years for not, and worst yet will be a drain to our society. 

So school board, get over yourself.  I don't care if it's a pink and purple dotted woman that has a green dot in her forehead, if there is a best candidate that's who this town deserves! So quit the petty stuff and let's get what all of our kids deserve, someone who doesn't answer to "coach" and does answer to the people of Gonzales about how our kids are going to get the best education out there.

God Bless,
