Rocky didn’t make the list of nominees announced for the annual Superintendent of the Year (SOTY) award sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). The list of nominees was announced by TASB on June 30.

It was just this last May that the Board did it’s annual “Resolution to Nominate Dr. Rocky Kirk for Texas Association of School Boards’ Superintendent of the year.”

Jim Cummings read the resolution that the Board approved on April 23, 2009:

“Prior to taking action, Trustee Cummings read the proposed resolution: `We the Board of Trustees of Lake Travis Independent School District do hereby resolve to nominate Dr. Donald Rockwell Kirk for Texas Association of School Boards’ Superintendent of the Year, 2009, in recognition of his outstanding leadership, dedication, integrity, vision and service to our students, staff and community.’”

After reading the TASB press release, we know why Rocky didn’t make the cut:

“Candidates are chosen for their strong leadership skills, dedication to improving educational quality, ability to build effective employee relations, student performance, and commitment to public involvement in education.”

Too bad Rocky, looks like a far better superintendent got the nomination from Region 13, Jesús Chávez, Superintendent of the Round Rock ISD.

Round Rock ISD Superintendent Jesús Chávez

Remember, Jesús Chávez is the Round Rock ISD Superintendent who wagers part of his benefits on outcome of his district’s scores.

Sadly we can’t say that Rocky is willing to wager any of his outrageous benefits or salary because as we all know, it would be a loosing proposition.

Rocky can’t even make good on his audacious claim to make the LTISD “the most exemplary school district in Texas!”
