Principal Contraversy
I am starting this talk page to place information regarding current principal Joni Walker Sier's contract renewal. In April of 2009 Bulloch County Superintendant announced he would not renew Sier's contract. Which by the laws of the State of Georgia he is able to solely do this despite protests by parents, students, community members, and school council members. In the state of Georgia Sier is a non-tenured employee which by law gives the Superintendant power to make descions solely without a vote or board approval. The members of the Board of Education continue to input no comment or question on this descion. Dr. Holloway made this descion based on his evaluation of Joni Walker Sier early in the year. He was able to note several areas of unsatisfactory performance. After Sier rebutals that this evaluation is incorrect and calls it "erroneous" the board members reviewed the evaluation and fully support Holloways decision. If you review past 4 years of results from the adequate yearly progress you can clearly see higher pass ratings in ALL Georgia tests and better average in ALL national tests scores. Georgia's SSAP(Single Statewide Accountability Program) states school has meet AYP in 5 out of 5 areas and also has a 5% gain over the previous year. Joni Walker Sier also brought SEB to be a 2007 Georgia School of Excellence. Even though she has many accomplishments and clearly turned out better scores than the previous years there is no overturning this descion with the whole board supporting Holloways descion. But you can't blame the people on the board because after what happened here they'll probably be next to go if they don't support his descion.

Please feel free to place comments and feelings regarding this issue. :) Jmcgaha2009 (talk) 14:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
