School Board Meets
Poop Butt Rides Again
Aug 16 2021



   Gather round children and you will hear....
   Once upon a time....
  Not sure how to get started on this School Board article. We're not doctors or the ilk but something is wrong with Sch Bd Chair Dave Mullins. We try not to point out that some one is crazy as a loon . Instead we just write down what elected leaders say and let you decide .
   Back in July, Mullins had his shorts all bunched up coming into the public meeting. When the Ace Cub Reporter raised his hand to ask a question, poor little Dave turned blue and told the lad, he wasn't allowing him to ask any questions. Later he said he would still allow the media to attend public meetings.
  As best we can put together, he was peed big time on the printing of the in the gutter 2021 test scores for County Clay. We added our usual comments to the poor test results. You can read those pathetic results over on the COMMUNICATOR ONLINE newspaper section. That original article came out just before that July meeting. Mullins went berserk.  It was apparent, we were under his skin, a burr under his saddle.
  So, to add a little fun to the August 16 Board meeting, when the Reporter walked in, he asked Dave, Are you going to allow questions this time? Dive Dive, Danger Will Robinson!
  As the 6pm meeting time approached, it was  apparent, something was wrong with Mullins. He was not talking to his fellow Boardsters. He was withdrawn, he had something on his mind... he had his blinders on.
  Just as the meeting was ready to get under way, with his ears turning blue and with a crackling voice, "Mr Waddell did you want to address this Board after while?"
  Now keep in mind, Mr Mullins can't stand the reporter and never ever asks him a question.  Back to the quotes.
Waddell, "Am I allowed?"
Dave, "DO YOU WANT ON THE AGENDA!?'
Waddell, "Why do you sound so irate?
Dave, "I just want to make sure you understand me! Do you want on the agenda or not??.. You have to be on the agenda and we will allot you some amount of time"
AW , "I don't know yet. Is that a new policy?$.
Dave, " NO, that's an old policy.
AW , "So, anybody that comes in and wants to ask anything, they have to be on the agenda, is that correct?
  With no reply, answer coming, AW, I will take that as a don't know.
 Our Sch Bd Chair was ready to spit nails. With his blood pressure boiling, Dave (Mr Poop Butt as he has been called in the past) Mullins would not answer the simple question.
  This may be too confusing for Mullins to understand. For our readers, anybody, everybody, can attend a public meeting. If they have something they want a Board to vote on, they have to get on the agenda in time for the posting. If that's not done ahead of time, they can still ask a question but the elected folks can not take a vote.
  Ethics Commission opinions adds to the law.  The Ethics Suits provide, the amount of time can be limited if there is a big crowd of speakers
  We can remember a meeting several years ago when Kenneth Tanner was Super. At that contentious assembly where upwards of 70 irate parents wanted their words to be heard, Tanner told em to keep their remarks short.
   20+ years ago, when the Sch Bd was voting (twice) to close H E White Elem., back then and held in the Clay Elem gymnatorium,  no one was on the agenda but a sign in list was passed around for signatures.
  As far as a policy or practice of getting on an agenda to talk,  and Mullins saying that is a long standing policy, he's wrong-o. Dead Wrong.
  For this Aug 16 meeting, it felt like, sounded like, Mullins did not have his mind on any other part of the gathering. He just read his part and stared off.
  What Dave Mullins didn't know, still doesn't know, if the Mel Gibson Look Alike is not the center of attention,  he loses interest and goes somewhere else. Someone please get Mullins off to the side and tell him, grow up and use that gray matter between his ears.
  The were only a couple items that caught our attention.
  Agenda item #9 was updating a COVID leave policy for this school year. We think the policy was implemented last year and provided extra time off for those without banked sick leave.
  Board votes are all ayes about 99.9% of the time.
  For this decision to update that COVID policy and with Sue Bodkins and Dave Mullins wanting to table it, Dave Pierson spoke up. Pierson said he didn't want to argue the issue but felt the policy should be continue.
  With Pierson voting nay, everybody else voted to table the (expired in June) COVID leave policy.
   Are you ready readers? Clayberry Schools are receiving a Christmas present way early. The Pentagon is receiving $6.5 million in COVID grants to use it on about anything they want to do with it.
  Next time they come begging to pass an excess Levy, remind em, you just got a $6.5million giveaway.
  As for the recent assessment scores, the Pentagon felt they could make up those dismal scores in the future. Dave Pierson, "They sure did slide." Joe Paxton, "It's a nationwide trend."
  There was some confusion with the hiring of a new maintenance worker. Sounded like the job description and pay scale didn't fit everyone's fancy.
  Our guess is, they want to make the current resource officer, Ryan Thomas is awarded the maintenance job ASAP.
 
Dave Mullins' opening volley was enough for one meeting. Enough to write about over and over. But Wait! There's more!  With the meeting items all covered and the assembly was ready to adjourn, Mr Mullins awoke from his la la land far off dream and made this reporter grin from ear to ear with,
   "One more comment and then I will shut up. I have a grand daughter , you have a daughter , and it just happens, that at some times they click on a certain website and hear what terrible names you have been called and what I've been called. I don't think that is necessary but that just shows the illiteratance of some people's thinking...   My grand daughter reads that FILTHY stuff about me, and that stuff about you. If that is necessary, I don't see how it could be."
  Wellllllll! How grand! He's still got a burr under his saddle.
  We do call an egg, an egg.
  When  Dave Mullins acts like a dumb cluck, we call him a poop butt. When ever Joe Paxton gets his in the wringer we named him Pretty Boy Paxton.
  For our readers that think poop butt is too filthy for their eyes, there's a million other web offerings.
  For everyone else, a Dave Mullins remains a Poop Butt and appears to be beside himself. That's great for a newspaper but not so much for the Clayberry school system.
