To: Manor ISD School Board
We want change in Manor
The Parents, Tax payers, and residence in Manor, want a Full investigation into the ethics and actions, and Removal of the school board President Desiree Cornelius - Fisher
Why is this important?
What happened to Kevin Brackmeyer , this week,deserves action.
This is a patent political hatchet job against the best thing that has ever happened to Manor ISD.I am a Mother of 4 in the district and a Parent Volunteer. I saw MHS go from someplace that was dangerous to work in, much less learn in, to a safe, respectful, multicultural environment. I saw that school transform from Academically Unacceptable, both in ranking and in spirit, into an institution that was reaching its potential more and more each day under his leadership. I personally witnessed Kevin Brackmeyer stay above the petty politics and personal interests that infest much of district leadership, so that he could always act in what he believed was the best interest of the children of Manor ISD, and I genuinely believe that it was his refusal to be a lackey for the school board that led to his unceremonious dismissal now.
Voters in Manor: recognize that the school board members that vote against Kevin Brackmeyer do not have your best interests at heart, nor those of your children. Why do they need a closed meeting regarding this decision? Why can’t they give details about dismissing a man who has nothing but a glowing track record at a job he was thrown into with little warning? This principal has garnered national attention and a presidential visit to Manor ISD. Manor’s success has been no accident, and I worry that his dismissal will return MHS and the district to the deplorable place that it was 6 years ago.: one that was getting closer to its full potential daily through clear, determined leadership.
This — getting rid of Brackmeyer — is a smokescreen for the board president’s own corruption and incompetence.
Voters of Manor ISD, here are some facts you should consider as you decide:
1. Whether to send your kids to the schools.
2. Whether to vote for Desiree Cornelius Fisher.
These are verifiable:
1. Cornelius Fisher has forced two highly-paid curriculum officials – ——-in science and ——- in mathematics – to tutor her adult daughter, who failed in a previous attempt to pass the teacher certification test. Both have been placed in a very uncomfortable position, but they know their jobs depend on it. This is criminal misuse of public resources.
2. ——– in the district’s IT department has repeatedly been asked to repair computers for Cornelius Fisher and her family members. Another example of criminal misappropriation of public resources.
The people named here are hard-working and might understandably be reluctant to come forward, but there are likely emails and/or text messages documenting the these activities.
These two instances are clear cases of misuse of taxpayer money. There are other “well-known” instances of abuse and misuse that I can’t provide specifics on, but I am confident that, if we dig just a little below the surface, you will find evidence of:
• Other misuse of funds by Cornelius Fisher. Look into her reimbursed expenses, travel, meals, etc. It’s outrageous.
• Violations of the Texas Education Code, which prohibits school board members from undue interference in the day-to-day running of the district., such as interfering with lower-level hiring decisions. Ask for phone logs and emails.
Her governance of the school district is a complete train wreck. There is rampant interference with the administration and abuse of power.
The district is filled with economically disadvantaged children who need all the help they can get.
The school children in Manor need everyone pulling in the same direction. They need their curriculum experts focused on them, not the school board president’s adult daughter.
It’s time to take back our school system.
