  (Kerri....LOL!!!!!) John Seymour, it's time for you to go away. You point a lot of fingers, but you yourself are rather toxic.

  Good call, TB. You do not need to further complicate your career with this toxic environment! I'm glad to be in the schools, and not in the politics of this community. "Wow" is definitely the word. :)

  I'm not into all the hearsay and gossip of 'past transgressions'...not my business as long as the leader is putting me in a position to do great things with and for my students. There could be a million things out there...they might all be true, they might not. We will never know what Mr. Bugnacki can do as a leader unless he's given a chance to show us. Point taken Fred...it may be wrong timing. But, like a couple of posts above, I have enough respect that I would at least like to find out what he could do w/o the Farner influence hanging around.

  There is no need for unprofessionalism on this post; I was merely stating that I have had only positive/productive interactions when Mr. Bugnacki has met with our team. The theme has always focused on what is best for our students. There are other colleagues who feel the same. Mr. Heule, please don't stray from the topic: I did not vote for Walker, and I did not vote to decertify GEA. I will say that I strongly believe in WEAC. (I would add that GEA has some toxicity to it that will be better off in a few years when some of the old-school mentality shifts to a more kid-oriented focus. Some teachers were afraid to vote against it for fear of retribution from the union.) Again, only one small opinion - which I'm entitled to and would never force onto anyone else - so please...no need to bash me. KHD, don't be mean - I don't know if Bugnacki was a "Conrad - backer". It seems to me like a second-in-charge wouldn't have much choice? I would never dream of teaching anywhere else if I could help it...I love my colleagues, our focus on improvements, and my students & their families in GSD. I'm sorry you took offense to my posting my opinions. :(

  Most of my (close) colleagues don't waste their time on these blogs, but I do want to say that - as a teacher in the district, I am tired of people representing their own views - to which they are certainly entitled - as speaking for EVERYone in the district. This is simply NOT the case. I know that people have their own agendas, reasons, histories, etc, and there seems to be a handful of people who are very eager to push those things onto the rest of us. This is FINE, but now I'm starting to be roped in with "EVERYONE", which isn't an accurate representation. I would be all right with Todd Bugnacki taking over. I have talked to several others who are hoping that he DOES take over. I'm not saying that people don't have have legitimate reasons for their own individual concerns along that vein, but please stop insinuating that you are speaking for all of Greenfield. That simply isn't reality.
