Did you know that if the LTISD is going to talk about you in the press, you have to release them from any liability?

I guess that if you go around telling the stories they do, you would find yourself in need of some exemption from liability.

The LTISD recently told the Lake Travis View that they would comment on an upcoming lawsuit only if the other party (guess who?) would sign a waiver releasing them from responsibility for their comments.

Isn’t that like giving a gun to a monkey and being surprised when they shoot themselves?

We all know how the LTISD likes to make perceptions into “Rocky facts.” Let’s not let truth get in the way of a good story.

I guess they feel that since they have done such a wonderful job of “putting their foot in their mouth,” they aren’t responsible for their own statements.

Here are just a few examples:

Susan Tolles on the subject of “students with physical and learning disabilities, students who speak little or no English, and economically disadvantaged students”

Susan Tolles on the subject to the Homestead Exemption.

Mayo Davidson’s unsubstantiated and impulsive remarks concerning the LTISD’s expenditures in their reckless persecution of my family.

Mayo Davidson remarks, again without checking his facts, that your property taxes went down. He even has the audacity to call me a liar! Yet the facts show otherwise. Mayo is a classic example of what happens when you give a gun to a monkey.

The LTISD released confidential student information.

The LTISD was found by the TEA to have violated student confidentiality. Actually, it was Susan Tolles who was responsible, or so says Rocky in his letter to the TEA.

Of course we have the Grumbel’s eminent domain fiasco.

The LTISD published a full page advertisement in the Lake Travis View on November 16, 2006, again composed of unsubstantiated, exaggerated and false claims. I wonder if Mayo wrote this? Can they prove these claims? No they can’t, but they will tell you that they have “integrity.”

…

Seems like Rocky and crew don’t practice what they preach or else they would follow Rocky’s own advice: “Put your brain in gear before you throw your mouth in gear.”

Well, I wonder if they regret their written and recorded statements and how some of them will come back to haunt them.

They should be afraid, very afraid …
