Amy's second of Bill's email

It appears Amy has left the board majority.

Amy Hilgemann's email as forwarded by Bill Haas:

Bill: You did an excellent job in describing what happened last night at the emergency let's fire Floyd Crues board meeting. Vince wants to be Superintendent soooooooooo bad he had Ken Brostron write Floyd's contract so "the Board" has to approve (prior to any and all employees are hired) who are there to "assist the Superintendent carry out his duties." Well looks like Vonce is mad because the Superintendent is not taking all his orders from Vince via Darnetta, like he had planned. And then the proposed by-law changes that Vince has prepared to strip all power from board members who are not in the majority...(even to the point of denying them their First amendment rights) and to leave the Superintendent without any power at all to carry out the responsibilites empowered by state statute to run the largest school district in the state of Missouri.

It's been discussed all over town in many different circles that Vince Schoemohl came to the Board with his three other blind, thoughtless, careless, puppy dogs, to destroy the institution called St. Louis Public Schools. And the reason he wants to do that is because he thinks the (black) employees we have are stupid, lazy, and political hackerie from the Honorable Wm. Clay days. Let me quote Vince's remarks from the Board's last retreat....."I do not care about the teachers, I care about the outcomes." If you do not believe this is a quote just request a video tape of that retreat from this past September 27th........Vince goes on to proclaim that the job of the board (and he really just means the job of him as the King Pin of the board....) is not just policy, but as coaches to the administration....... How can Vince Schoemohl be a coach to an educational system when he knows little if anything about and a district that he wants to destroy. He has been in maybe three schools after 18 months, he know few employees, and probably he couldn't even name 10 schools and where they are located. But Vince is the expert. Like I say, he really wants to be Superintendent. And since this town would go balistic if he were to be the Sup (and they don't have the votes to make him such) he wants to run every little detail behind the scenes. He protests toooo much when these kinds of reality statements are made. After Sylvester Brown hit the nail on the heaed in one of his articles about how Vince is running it all......Vince set Darnetta in motion. When ever Vince gets bad press he gets his puppet number one, Darnetta, to try and blame everyone but them for the problems and lack of credibility they have in this community. The best thing that could happen to SLPS is for the four of them to resign. Nothing is going to get any better. They will never find a superintendent to come to this district and be told when to stand up and when to shut up and when to take the blame for their f***-ups. remember, who ever comes to St. Louis, they will probably be fired in one year and then walk away with all the money.........Another Vince give away.

Academics and Achievement is supposed to be the product of SLPS. Interim Superintendent Crues is focusing on that with less than one tenth the fiscal costs that this board spent last year on Roberti and all his contracts. Vince is mad, and he has the other three ready to go for Floyd's juggler because Floyd didn't say...mother may I hire so and so for assistant superintendent....mother may I hire so and so for Public Relations. For all of you out there who think Floyd is running the district like Vince says....I guess you are wrong....They are ready to fire him because he is making his own decisions.....Oh well.

Anyway stay tuned, as Ken Brostron does his investigation of Floyd for hiring employees without Vince's prior approval........Maybe Bob Archibald can get his motion on the floor to fire Interim Superintendent Floyd Crues for violation of the boards right to tell him everything what to do. Then we can have Vince become Interim-Interim Superintendent!!!!!!
