Yup. I oversimplified, but they are living off the teat of a well oiled organization. Bonuses for getting stuff passed. Democracy for the highest bidder. if you want a prime example of a politician being bought and paid for by lobbyists, one would need to look no further than fallin. she's worthless. too bad we have to put with her for another 2 years. The dems have to come up with a real candidate this time. Can you imagine that asshat Pruitt as governor? It CAN get worse. |

askins and dorman didn't stand a chance against fallin. she had way too much money from the oil and gas industry backing her campaigns against them. whoever runs on the R the next time will most likely also have that same luxury. whoever the dems throw out there will have to do a 77 county marathon meet and greet. they won't have near the resources to put tv ads on every 5 seconds like the R will.

Young Boren would be a D that has a chance, but he is leaning a lot like we already have |

But let's also be honest...the state of affairs really had very little to do with any of the coaches going. They all got raises and went. It is not like they were being paid bad to begin with. It just made for an easier way of going. Rogers did not pay like what is being offered now, until the board stepped in and did it. But back to sign erection and pop talk!!! Yes and no. Arkansas contributes $1500 per student more than Oklahoma. Revenue make a huge difference. They can pay people more competively. They can, but it's also regional , southeast ark isn't paying what northwest ark is Not even close |

i've heard some talk of county superintendents. not so much consolidating school districts, but consolidating administration. There's a bill to force all K-8 to consolidate their admin with other districts. Horrible idea. It wouldn't save any money. At my kids school there are 3 admins. One for K-3, 4-6, 7-8/Supt. They all do so much more than just their principal gig. Not to mention, they don't make near the coin that admins in other districts make. And some of those adm make way less then principals and supes and other schools, a lot work for their teacher salary and maybe a 5000 stipend |

She is Jana Little from Madill. Her dad Rheul Little was the vice presidential nominee in George Wallace's failed American Party presidential bid |

There ya go The big thing in Arkansas , is your stipends are based off a percentage of your base, so as your base goes up so does your stipends. And depending if you are a header , coordinator or junior high coach that percentage is different. And of course the district. Just teaching I would get a 3,600 dollar raise just across the border over what I make now with everything . |

That's what Rogers did to sweeten the pot, their Supe study the other 7a schools in the area and they paid on average something like 13gs more than Rogers. So they added days and some other stuff
