VISD Board Meeting

[Green Bling]

VISD Board is currently in closed session considering appointment of new AD. I know this isn't 3A business, but several candidates have strong 3A Region 4 ties. Mike Forman is Tweeting from the meeting. You can follow it at

Green BLing - did you read the comments those Victoria guys are posting? Dang, they should have applied for the job, cause they think they know it all :doh:

[Green Bling]

I read a few and quit. Just so much blah, blah, blah. I guess they think it makes them look smart to "know so much." Kept thinking, I hope we don't have to listen to stuff like that when our new AD is chosen.

No way I would apply for the Victoria East/West openings if I was coach.

For Travis' sake, hope they don't pick him over there.

From what I've heard about the East/West High School's is that they're going to be connected and just separated by a wall. If that's true, why would someone do that? There's been a lot of hub-ub that I've heard coming about those 2 schools that I would think would make people leery of wanting to be there...IMO.

The schools will not be right beside each other.
West will be on the corner of Loop 463 and Hwy 87.
East will be on Zac Lentz between Business Hwy 59 and the Mall.

I'm also thankful Jessie Crow didn't get the AD nightmare.
