DOTHAN: Tonight at the regular school board meeting School Board Members, Brett Strickland, Melanie Hill, Franklin Jones and Brenda Guilford voted to hire Athens Georgia DR. GARRICK ASKEW as Dothan School Superintendent.
A 4 to 3 vote with Chairman Scott Childers, Aurie Jenkins, Amy Bonds voting against.
Ladies and Gentleman, here is what the 4, Strickland, Hill, Jones, and Guilford is doing … the new Superintendent will get a salary of at least $ 225,000.00 a year with a four year buyout clause. This means YOU, the citizens of Dothan Alabama will have to pay this Athens Georgia man around $ 900,000.00 to get out of this contract.
Understand, 50% of these four members, Strickland and Hill, are not seeking re-election. On August 5, you the registered voters, will be electing two new board members and a new Chairman. Jones and Guilford has opponents. These 4 are determined to SHOVE IT TO THE REGISTERED VOTERS by selecting a new Superintendent.
Remember when Dr. Leon Hobbs was Dothan School Superintendent. And YOU, THE REGISTERED VOTERS, were forced to pay Dr. Hobbs and buy out his contract. Education is Dothan Alabama CAN NOT get better with the mindset of RAMMING IT TO THE REGISTERED VOTERS as these four are doing.
None of these four have any children in the Dothan City Schools, with exception of Brenda Guilford who her daughter works in the Central Office of Dothan City Schools.
When Dothan City Schools need more money, JUST SAY NO!!!!!!! Dothan Commissioners, REMOVE THE MILLIONS YOU GIVE TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM!!!
