Lack of Leadership at Monroe County Schools, Fentanyl Epidemic Sends Shockwave

Recently appointed Director of Schools Dr Kristie Lady Windsor ducks the news cameras during latest crisis at Monroe County Sequoyah High School, where three people were taken to the hospital and a student was arrested after a vape pen exposed fentanyl—the school was forced to close for three days. Lady Windsor (no relation to the Queen of England) is the complete opposite of former Director of Schools Dr DeAnna McClendon, who did not run from the gathered news media at the 2020 school bus crash--McClendon was fired by the white power elite for being a strong woman of color...an investigation into the near deadly bus crash was promised but never made public--some believe the secrecy of this 'cover-up' led to former transportation director Charlie Lee to resign and the school board giving McClendon nearly $300,000 of taxpayer funds as ‘hush money’ before her contract expired.

Tellico Plains HS Coach Shawn Yates Admits to Spit Tobacco Use on Campus

.

What are the long-term effects on impressionable young adults, should Yates be mandated to go into rehab?

Although he has tried to explain that he does it at certain times, it may not prevent a slew of legal issues--as a parent, you should be concerned and mad as hell as to why and who approved the use of tobacco, (a level 1 carcinogen that some consider harder to kick than heroin) by a faculty member during school hours...Monroe County Tellico Plains HS Athletics Director Shawn Yates (a close friend of director of schools Dr Kristie Windsor) has admitted in writing, to regular use of spit tobacco on campus during school hours...

Lawsuits against schools for failing to keep students safe during the Covid 19 pandemic have become commonplace and expensive: in order to avoid a legal battle, the school board recently paid former director Dr Deanna McClendon nearly $300,000 to go away and keep their dirty secrets private.

When Covid turns into more than just a cold

Delta Variant Fuels Covid Surge Among the Unvaccinated

Many people say their experience with Covid 19 was ‘just a cold’ others haven’t fared as well. 

A local resident says he and his wife were vaccine hesitant because of concerns about infertility—but now he says he wants the vaccine. Currently there is no indication that the vaccine causes infertility.

Look at the case of William Ball, he’s been unable to sit up on his bed for more than about a minute a month after getting Covid…

Miami Building Collapse Linked to Greed and Gross Incompetence

The recent condominum building collapse in Miami may bring a surge of new Florida migrants to East TN —a lack of proper maintenance by the condominium board of directors may have contributed to this deadly tragedy…Early on during the construction the permits were pulled due to somebody’s bright idea of putting a penthouse apartment which was never part of the original design—after a few days, the developer was able to get a waiver and continue with the added weight of the penthouse: it’s unknown if any structural allowances were made to deal with the thousands of tons of unplanned weight the penthouse  brought to the buiding’s design.

As recently as 2018, there are numerous accounts of strange noises and lack of proper upkeep to the building.

Dismissal Of Director McClendon Shrouded in Secrecy

Upon review by the Blogger team this post was reinstated.

Dr DeAnna McClendon took what appears to some as a "payoff" for keeping quiet on a scandal that could affect the lives of Monroe County students--despite the attempt to make pleasing remarks... the secrecy surrounding the mutual agreement to pay off the remainder of her contract at a cost of nearly $300,000 has raised eyebrows. This has impacted race relations, kept important information from the general public, and set a horrible example for students--they (the school board) stopped short of passing a resolution to make the Dire Straits hit single "Money for Nothing" the official theme song for the school system. 

…despite her advanced learning degree, cradling two cell phones and flanked by her attorney; she went against the cardinal rule that anyone should follow when under investigation: Professor James Duane advises anyone who is under investigation to 'keep their mouth shut.'...More often than you can imagine—Any public comment you make, even if it may seem as exculpatory-simply 'cannot help you.'...

She used a 'conversational rip cord' to quickly end the news conference, but it worked against her--If you take a careful look at what was said - "I feel overwhelmed by the support that is here tonight, because THEY (pointing to the crowd) care about the children." She never switches to a first person narrative using "I" or "We" during her brief comments and for a second time goes back to 'She knows these people care about children.'

When was the last time you heard that anyone in Monroe County was dismissed from a job, and received almost $300,000 to simply 'go away' and not sue the employer?...What was the school board wanting to keep secret? ...If you think it was just a 'racial thing'...think again--Lady D 'sold out' and tarnished her legacy: she should have exposed misconduct and stayed at her post until the end of her contract...At the present time--only a few insiders know about the 'back room deal' that led to a contract extension before she walked away with almost $300,000...
