We loved meeting Miss Jessie at Martins for breakfast on Sunday’s before church and she loved Scotty’s market boiled peanuts! Still think of her each time I pass through 92 and 278.

I have used Dwight Puckett and he is professional and reasonably priced as well. 404-388-7745

Thankful for the questions ! Early morning meeting. You have my email and cell phone on my signature below if needed. Thankful for my Paulding County and p.com folks. Goodnight all

Lady Raider, I am thankful you posted this. Since you are a citizen and taxpayer of Paulding County, the effect of BOE decisions still affect you and your family. Property taxes, local sales tax (splost), career readiness or further education of our students affect everyone in our community. If these young people leave the school system ill equipped to be productive citizens, whether it be through work, vocational school, job training, or higher education we are all ultimately affected. They often find themselves without life skills or motivation to work. Then, they may make negativ

Thank you for reaching out an being an involved parent/grandparent. Most of p.commers are as this thread shows from the above posts. Unfortunately, for our public schools you guys are in the minority and that is the big struggle. We p.commers may not always agree on here but seems like we care about ALL our county's kids and not just our own.

I enjoy serving with all fellow board members including Theresa. I have positive to say about each of them. But, I also remember how I was treated when I signed my name and was willing to serve against an incumbent years ago. I would not wish that on anyone or their family. I only had ONE person contact me to ask questions directly and give me an opportunity to answer. It was very disappointing, therefore I have become a more informed voter and ask questions myself and do research to give everyone a fair opportunity. I am meeting/talking to the other citizens willing to serve in ou

All positions are AT LARGE as far as voting goes. The only determination is post/district lines are for the candidate's residence. We qualify based on where we live BUT we are VOTED on by the entire county. It is very confusing compared to other positions so thank you for asking! That is why I do not put a post/district on my sign. My belief is..... if you vote for me and I pledge to represent the district "without fear or favor" I should listen and share your concerns with the superintendent no matter if you reside in my post. I have to put my personal thoughts aside and share yours

You can text, call, or email me too! Curt was just helping me out ! I have been trying to follow up on some ongoing concerns and spending most of the day at various schools to personally observe. I volunteer everyday and have NO day off! No regrets either though ;-)

Hoping to see a debate last full week in April ! Thank you! I have not forgotten about your signs!!! I will call tomorrow or Wednesday to further our discussion on your other concerns.

Thank you to those who have already reviewed the information on the school district website and provided your input so that I can represent the citizens of our county. This outsourcing issue is on the school board meeting agenda for tomorrow evening, Tuesday, April 21st, 2015. If you have not yet reviewed the information, please do and share your input regarding this important personnel and budget decision. https://intranet.paulding.k12.ga.us/custodial/index.php There is a link to email your feedback to the district on the link. My email is kimberlycobb@bellsouth.net for

Lowrider, There are 4 "built-in" days in the school calendar each year for emergency purposes. After 4 days, have to get creative! You are very welcome!

Just got word that school will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday the 25th, due to weather predictions.

It was not bad at my house until 7:00 but its much worse now. Never know what the weather will do ! It is all temperature.

Just got info due to weather school closed today 12 month employees report https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=927916607241517&id=181210968578755

I agree I do not have a choice. I made the commitment to this county to serve a full 4 year term and I will keep my commitment and give it 100% no matter how tough it gets. After that, I will stick around as long as I can because I run slow........ but I can hide pretty creatively !!!! lol

Thank you NJ. The school board room is usually empty except when there are awards to be presented. I am thankful for our students and employees who have earned awards and their families. It is clear that some people do not care what "really" happens or even want to hear the facts. I just wish they would take the time to get the correct information before casting judgments. JMO

Not sure about winning? Hedge funds? Private driveways? Judgements? Who are "they" and "them"? What does this post have to do with the school board?

I understand why some folks feel the way they do. I am a taxpayer too and have my opinions on local decisions over the past 15 + years in this county. It is just discouraging that I am trying to serve in a position that has nothing to do with other decisions but paying the penalty for the distrust elsewhere. So much for trying to be up-front and transparent to avoid public distrust. Not sure I can keep doing this much longer. Seems like a losing battle at least in this county. Thank you EZ. It makes sense to me to get facts before decisions too.

Red, You are right on point. That is what I have been trying to get across in this thread. The only reason this is being discussed it because the superintendent asked for a "proposal". Nothing more. There is NO information to show any projected savings, advantages, anything until the information is gathered. The only way he can legally gather legitimate information and cost is to request it. There may not be a bid. There may not be any savings. There may not be a vote. I am thankful that the superintendent and the district were trying to be transparent and upfront with the

Thank you, I did read your other posts. I am not for employees losing jobs either. I appreciate our custodians and all school district employees. Since the school board and board of commissioners have nothing to do with each other, I do not want to get into other government business, etc. My oath of service is to the school board and the citizens, employees, and students it is charged with serving.

The elected board does not get involved at this stage (other than listening to citizens which is most important). The superintendent wanted the school administration to talk to the custodians before the bid went out and that did happen a couple weeks ago. He let the elected board know that this meeting occurred. The RFP went out Monday, the 26th. After the bids come back to the district, if the superintendent wants to make any recommendation, that is when the item will be placed on the agenda and discussed by the board. I have my personal opinion regarding this item but that is NOT wh

I agree with your concerns. Thank you for the PDF's. I will get more information on this tomorrow. I appreciate your post.

Crossroads, I am "out of the loop" on this. I will read your PM and I am sorry if you have been wronged by some in our county. I can relate. NOT enjoyable. But since I am in a position where I am supposed to represent to citizens I serve, I have to be open to all opinions. I think anyone who agrees to serve in a public office and swears to serve without fear or favor ( to the county citizens) should value each opinion. Whether I agree with an individual or not, I have to put my personal opinion aside and represent the majority of the community unless it is illegal, etc. If it is

Thank you.... but I, like you, am often "tired of BS" and that is why I try to be fair and treat folks like I would hope they would treat me or my family. We all just have to remember that none of us is any better than anyone else and we are all in this crazy world together so we might as well make the best of it. I am sure you have God-given talents that you try to put to use to!!!! Sometimes I wish He just gave me a Carrie Underwood voice or something like that !!!! LOL
