Body Count Rising in Tornillo Under Dr. Chavez

Relax genter, I haven't forgotten about Tornillo. But its election season and there's only one of me.

Sources within the district office at Tornillo ISD indicate that after all the cameras left, there is still no nurse at the district.

And things, according to the source, have gotten worse under Dr. Chavez.

The Human Resource Department no longer exists. Sources indicate that Dr. Chavez applied pressure by giving them additional work to make the environment more and more uncomfortable for that department staff. Now they are gone and sources in the district office are frustrated at the fact that there is apparently no plan to get that department up and running again. The duties of the department have essentially been divided up among the administrative clerks.

The morale of staff is now at an all time low. Many fear getting on the Superintendent's bad side for fear of losing their jobs. Sources indicate that any grievance that would be filed by an employee are no longer handled by the HR department that no longer exists, but rather by Dr. Chavez herself. Many of the grievances are AGAINST Dr. Chavez. You can see why that is a problem right?

There is also no facilities manager in the district.

And yet if I'm reading the agenda correctly for tomorrow night's board meeting, there is apparently a move to create a new position within the district that essentially amounts to an assistant superintendent. Many in the district office are complaining that its going to be just another high-paid crony of hers from EPISD.

Tomorrow night's meeting should be interesting...
