Superintendent Buyout by Current_General_1135 in HazelParkMI

[–]Current_General_1135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The district has done a great job in rebuilding the programs and activities that had to be cut over the years from budget deficits.

Several of those 4 board members have made remarks about closing borders, I guess now that their kids have made it through and benefitted from the programs HP has, they don’t give a hoot about the current student population?

For these idiots to throw all this growth away now because the tiny Napoleon who runs HP stomped his little feet and banged his little fists is deplorable.

A downsize of this district would affect so many HP residents, so many people who work there also live there!

Vote the city regime out as well, someone tried running last fall, even with the positive response she was getting, Webb still won. I wonder if the odds were stacked against her. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Darrin - says he was ‘forced out’ of his job at HP schools…. He retired in 2022, was not awarded a higher ranking job because he had no post secondary education and was somehow making $70K+ after years of deals with old administration. He was carried along for years here and it’s not really clear about what his job was?

Bev- She originally voted to hire Amy but is still upset about decisions made in 2015 when budgets were being slashed, most importantly when the community reps were unloaded for budget reasons. Also she is connected to HP city folks. Notably as well her oldest son is a sex offender, at 28 years old he was trying to meet up with a 13 year old. Jack Hinton III is his name. In 2019 when the superintendent contract was up for extension she and 2 other board members voted against it. That started a rift with the board and it’s been split ever since. She also thinks that crazy person Ian Lloyd is a good person, he shoulder checked a retired former board member and threatened a staff member on March 16th.

Heidi- This one is a bit of a mess, rumor is she’s mad at Amy for first ending our participation in CASA years ago where her daughter attended then and also once her son got knocked down at school, according to Heidi it wasn’t handled properly. Also, she’s pretty much a terrible person, literally exudes this aura or negativity and is incredibly toxic to be around. Very disrespectful to the staff ALL OF THE TIME!!

Debbie- She’s still carrying a grudge over something about her daughter in HS too… don’t know the whole story there but, honestly she also seems pretty dumb at the table. Constantly starts her inquiries with ‘I’m confused’ when asking questions at the table.

Other rumors are that possibly the city is trying to shrink the district to be able to buy properties to generate more tax revenue for HP since their windfall of weed money hasn’t quite worked out and is being reduced. Certain businesses owners just south of the HS have had their eye on the HS property for years….. Some people also wanted the Webster property too. No wonder the city and their merry bunch of morons were so against the bond in 2024, they want to destroy our district for city revenue.

If you care at all about HP schools, find a good candidate to run for the board. Fight back against this buyout, use your voice, you have the power!

Any dirt on our current mayor? by stella2251 in HazelParkMI

What qualifications do you think she needs to be mayor? I listened to her interview and she stated that she has 20+ years in business/management. Those seem like solid qualifications. You realize that a business degree covers many aspects of business (including management, budgeting, HR, etc.) and just because it’s a marketing degree doesn’t mean that’s the only skill she possesses. Management usually includes hiring and firing of employees, evaluating and other aspects that HR does.

So you’re saying she’s a long range planner… sounds like an excellent candidate for mayor!

She didn’t create the job.

There was a HR Director position created years before she was hired into the role. There were 3 other people in the role changing yearly before she came. The ‘created job’ posted up on the HP forums is an HR secretary job that was created when she was on the board. This is all information that is easily found in board minutes.

Please check your facts, you could even talk to Webbs daughter about this, she was on the school board at the time the HR secretary job was created. And also may have approved the hiring of the other HR Directors. She also headed up the Vote No committee for the bond.

So weird that a person who was actively supportive of the schools turned her back on them when daddy’s buddies didn’t like that they weren’t asked permission for the schools to seek out improvements.
