Montgomery's School Superintendent, John Dilworth, is headed home to Baton Rouge Louisiana. It took the school board there three votes before one member switched and a 6-6 tie vote was broken in his favor. Last night WSFA-TV quoted Dilworth as saying it wasn't a question of money, and that he wanted to be closer to his family members. But both Montgomery and Baton Rouge raised their offers in a bidding war. It is still unclear, at least to me, if Dilworth will be required to pay any cash for breaking his three-year contract here. After all, Boards of Education across the state end up paying off the contracts of their school heads when they fire them! Now Montgomery will go through the process of finding a superintendent again! Let's hope they find someone who'll stay longer than a measly two years.
Well... if ya' do a thing for money, and not for love, it's called "prostitution."
ReplyDeleteMatter of fact, etymologically, the oft-maligned word "amateur" is a higher character quality word than "professional," because it describes a person whom did the thing for love... not money.
Reminds me of the story of a millionaire-type fellow whom asked a woman if she would "sleep" with him (a euphemism for sexual intercourse) for $1,000,000 dollars.
She responded enthusiastically, "Yes!"
"Well," he said, "would you sleep with me for $50?"
With an undeniable tone of disgust in her voice, she replied, "No!," and added, "What kind of woman do you think I am?!"
His response was without hesitation, "I think we've already determined that fact. Now we're just haggling on the price."
SOLD!! To the highest bidder!
Remember... do what you love, and the money will follow!
UPDATE: Apparently his contract has a 90-day "out", so he'll work here till that's up and then move. I still wonder what the contract would require if the board had fired him instead..payout of the remainder of the contract?
