comments: Boots Dinkins did not work full time. Out the door at 11:30! Too many grandchildren to babysit to work full time. LOL!
.
 
comments: seeking out minorities is a form of racism...seek out most qualified candidate no matter what color..but to put a preference on hiring a certain color is wrong..getting a government job because of a program and not on ability is demeaning
 
comments: I don't know about anyone else, but I use to look forward to buying the CC Herald every week and catching up on the "local" news.  Lately, there isn't alot of news about Charlton County, lots of articles from other folks about general information.  We get the board of education minutes every once in awhile, very little school news (when in session) lots of ads.  It is very boring, to say the least. I for one, don't purchase the paper like I use to.
 
comments: A few years ago The asst.Suprt Dr Aurthur retired. Her pos. was never filled. Mr Dinkins took on some of her duties.  He was paid for part time but he worked full time.  The asst super job was/is still in the budget. Dr larisey IS the RIGHT PERSON for the job!!!!!  Josh howard IS the RIGHT PERSON to run the HS.  YOU can fuss and complain but, THANK GOD you don't matter.  I think more of the dirt under my shoe than I do of you who don't like the way things are.  The truth is that what is done is done for the best of the SCHOOL.  If you do not like it then run for school board.

comments: If the jobs were posted for 14 days, then I was wrong stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I am glad they did that the right way. Hopefully the right, qualified candidates got the jobs.
.
 
comments: The Board of Education should not have to actively seek minority candidates for the Assoc. Superintendant and High School Principal positions. THAT IS RACISM. If the positions were properly advertised, minorities should actively seek the positions. Then the most qualified candidate should get the position.
 
comments: If the Associate Superintendant and High School Principle positions being open had been public knowledge BEFORE the positions were filled there would not be questions. I can't answer for everyone, but I only learned of this when I read it in the Charlton Co. Herald last week that Dr. Lairsey was the new AS and I have only seen on this site that Dr. Howard was the new High School Principle. Maybe I missed Boots Dinkins retirement being anounced in a earlier edition, if I did that then I admit I'm wrong. It may have been public knowledge by word of mouth, but I'm not in the know. Contratulations to both men.
 
comments: You're all right about that good ol boy system. I know someone that was told by the superintendent himself a few years ago that the hirings especially at the high school is all about who you know and nothing about your qualifications.
.
 
comments: Hey, whoever the anti war thug is why don't you go take up a collection from all of your liberal friends,buy your ass a 1 way ticket to Iran, Afghanistan or Iraq and try and change the world there. I would be willing to bet that within 1 week you would probably be ready to kill for a return ticket back to the USA.

STOP BY YOU WANT REGRET IT. I ALSO HAVE WAY TO MANY BABY BOY CLOTHES. THEY RANGE FROM NEW BORN UP TO 2T. I LIVE BESIDE HOMELAND CITY HALL ON PENNSYLVANIA AVE!
 
comments: You are right, it wasn't Bethune Elementary, It was Bethune Middle.   Everything else is correct. And how about placing these so-called administrators in the classroom?

comments: Why does CC have so many churches? I'm really confused and I actually thought about organized religion, but I will pass. I visited First Baptist following a long 7 year vacation from home with a friend, and boy did I sense some unfriendly stares after the message from folks I thought was OK. The minister gave a nice talk, but nothing to ruffle their collars or jeopardize his position. He's a good man in the midst of evil, folks. 
comments: Did anyone hear the new school is not completed and kids will be heading to St. George?
 
comments: Football sign ups begin Monday from 8 to 5. Cost is $30 for children from 6 to 12. Please bring child so they can be fitted for equipment.

comments: The assoc. superintendent and hs principal may have been advertised for 14 days, but the good old boys had everything mapped out from the get go. How many applied? Who all was interviewed? Were minorities actively sought? No. No. No. Take care of our own, boys, take care of our own.

comments: I wonder what the different is in the diet center by Hopkins Gowen and the one by the courthouse?  Everyone is fussing about the train cars, what about those two Saturdays a month when you can't hardly shop at Rite Aid or go by the courthouse because of all the FLORIDA cars.  Dont Folkston folks realize the FLORIDA pain clinic folks are coming here instead?  They are running them out of Florida, but do we care, I doubt it!!
 
comments: It is a diet clinic.

comments: Does Folkston have a pain clinic? Last week, before 5:30 in the morning, the doctor's office near the courthouse had over 20 cars parked nearby, and dozens of patients surrounding the biilding waiting for it to open. Is this a "pain clinic" or what?
 
comments: Just so the facts are out there... Boots Dinkins was never principal of Bethune Elementary School.  In addition, both the asst superintendant and high school principal positions were advertised for 14 days. The state website to advertise open positions is www.teachgeorgia.org
 
comments: The comments about the rail cars must have upset some folks - because they are no longer posted here.  Wow!!!!
The intent was not to angry rail fans or business owners who benefit from this tourist attraction, but to emphasize the fact that there obviously are no City Ordnances to regulate businesses in this town.  If there are, they simply are not being enforced - DUH!  So, if I understand someone's comment in response - we are to forget about the taxpayers who live here, work here and cater to someone that visits our town 1 weekend a year?  I don't get it - why can't we encourage the business owners who have less attractive establishments to make their businesses more presentable.  I believe it would help their businesses.  Is that such a bad thing to ask for the City of Folkson?
 
fullname: RE: Assoc. Superintendant
email:
comments: I do not see why an Associate Superintendant (AS) needed. This county ONLY has four schools. Is the superintendant that busy? With a tight budget, I hust believe that salary could be better spent elsewhere. (New books, teacher supplies, etc.) Heck, I bet you could hire two additional teachers with that one salary.
Even if the need for a AS can be substantiated, why is the job just given to someone and the job not advertised? The same can be said for the High School Principle position. Why is that position not advertised? I mean no disrespect toward Dr's Lairsey or Howard, but don't the school board have a responsibility to make sure the right person(s) are chosen from a pool of possible qualified candidates. It also cuts down on the perception that a good ol' boy system is being operated.
 
comments: You go Cindy R!  God Bless our Vets!

comments: I don't know what the position of Assistant Superintendent does; however, I thought it was County policy now that if a teacher resigns/retires they are not replaced; why was Mr. Dinkins replaced?  Teachers are in the classroom, the Assistant Superintendent is not.  Why is his job more important than that of a teacher? Maybe we could send some students to the board office to be taught by the employees there.

comments: I agree the vacated postion of Boots Dinkins should remain vacant.  Besides, it was created for him when he was displaced as principal of the Bethune Elementary in the late 70's. I was a student and his sister Taska served as our UNOFFICIal principal. She thought she ran everything at the school.  BoE is a good of boy system, but I gotta givem credit for how they balance their budgets.  We have board members as dumb as the county commissioners and are too stupid to identify what's happening.  The best thing they got going is Pender. What they need to do is hire the next supt outside the system using a qualified search professional.

comments: to the complete DUMB*SS who wrote "may all who support this war got to hell", guess I will see you there, or better yet, we will take a collection up and sent you on a one way ticket to Iran, Syria or China so you can keep your opinions to yourself. MY Family has fought for YOUR RIGHT to have an opinion, if you don't appreciate it then get the hell out of the USA

comments: Over 1 Trillion bucks spent for war. Why the hypocritical preachers aren't condemning this.  WWJD?  He will beat those war tools into domestic policy for the good of the country.  Now, i'm convince there is no difference between the 2 political parties.  May all who support this war, go to hell.  Americans in power are evil and corrupt
 
comments: Charlton County already has less central office staff than most school systems in the state, and that is with the associate superintendent's position filled.  I am just thankful that no teachers or other staff members have lost their jobs during this crisis.
 
comments: Hey school board.Why did you replace the assistance supertindent job,but still giving furlough days.Do we not have a full time superintendent.That position could have freed up some funds for other purposes.For example,bus monitors.Some of those drivers sure need them if not all of them.The bus radioes needs up grading,because what I have heard from some of the drivers,is that they some times can not hear the other drivers even if they are parked right next to them.They also said the cameras on the buses needs up grading as well.To me that is important because a students may some times lie but a camera will not.These are a few example,but I'm sure there are many more problems that need attention.I am in no ways mad at Mr.John L. for no reason at all nor the Board Of Education.I just feel like that position should have stayed vaccant until this budget churnch is over.

comments: I have the priviledge of teaching 7th and 8th grade students this year.  I have taught these same students since they were in the 3rd grade and need something new to offer them.  Teaching basic guitar would offer the students a skill that they could enjoy for relaxation and pleasure for their entire lives.  I can meet the state requirements for this subject area and let students actively make music if I can find enough guitars.
If you are looking for lessons, I highly recommend Clint Wilson or Robert Wilson.  Jess Nettles is a wonderful guitar player as well.  We have a wealth of talented musicians here in Charlton County!
Again, if you can donate an acoustic guitar, please give me a call.  You will make a lot of students happy for many years to come.   496-3247
 
comments: Dawn - tell us more about the guitar lessons are you opening that up to the public? Give us some prices on the lessons and when you will be starting.

Hi Jack Mays: I have been reading your  history papers and when you did the one about Mr. Billy Mizell I remembered when his deer attacked Mrs Mizell. My Father Jack Davis went to her rescue along with some one else but I don't remember who. My Dad and the other guy put Mrs Mizell in a straight back chair and carried her back to the house.
   You are right Mr Billy was a good man. He always treated my family with kindness. I enjoy reading your blog.
I never thought we had so many sore heads in Folkston, but it is fun to comment.  Thanks old friend Leon E Davis
