Fwd: Danny Brooks, Senior Vice President & CFO of Value Bank.

Just a few minutes ago we have learned the meeting between CCISD Executives & Advocates who are pursuing Justice for Carroll High School head volleyball coach Doris Elizondo has ended without resolution.

What does that mean?

It means CCISD officials continue to employ subtle exclusionary phrases within their statements in effect disclaiming the CCISD officials from accountability while the Caller Times spin quote, misquote, decieve quote Carroll Principal Bobby Templeton:
"Carroll principal: Elizondo not reassigned" and coupled it with, "Players, fans gather to protest volleyball coach's possible exit" illustrating the appearance of a festive event (due to the percieved positive outcome) in the Article's Title

"Carroll principal: Elizondo not reassigned
Players, fans gather to protest volleyball coach's possible exit"

This technique is used to foster hope; "reassuring" the Public, while buying time & digression are the real underlying motivators. Actually,........ right now; at this time, Carroll High School head volleyball coach Doris Elizondo is NOT being transferred.

• Carroll High School head volleyball coach Doris Elizondo currently is not being reassigned, according to one school official. CCCT
• Carroll High School principal Bobby Templeton said Wednesday that "as of today, no final decision has been reached by this school district concerning the reassignment of Coach Elizondo."
• "Coach Elizondo, and all other coaches and administrators, are fully aware that reassignment of job duties is a possibility," Templeton added. "Since this is a personnel issue, we cannot comment on specific details. However, issues have been raised by parents, staff and community members concerning her actions, which prompted my investigation into these matters."

CCISD officials are denying recorded statements from CHS Athletic Director Terry Morris, who told Elizondo that "she would be reassigned in May". CCISD Officials are counting on the inadmissibility of tape recorded conversations and in undeclared admissions are saying "YEAH BUT, YOU CANT PROVE IT".

Is that the kind of people we have working for us?

Like Susie told Mr Elliff, She was here when Dana WIlliams was Superintendent and she described the relationship. She was here when Benson was Superintendent and Now D Scott Elliff is CCISD Superintendent. We will still be here when he is gone.

What happens when one has a accident in a company car?...............

and he dont work for the company?

Danny,

In response to your statement:

Yes, forgive me for introducing you as Danny Brooks, Board Member of Value Bank. Let me start over; Please welcome Danny Brooks, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Value Bank.

You state:
"I have not attended a Carroll H.S. athletic event, nor contributed a dollar since my daughter graduated in 2000, hardly qualifying as a "huge" Tiger anything.'

Why not tell Mr Heitkamp's daughter that, "You are not "huge" Tiger anything"?

• You claim, "I have no interest in the controversy" yet you interjected postulates to the contrary:

• To which side of the controversy does the following statement lean, "It seems to me that concerned parents should have some level of interest or concern, right or wrong, while letting the authorities make the decisions"
  

• "That to me is not politics." 

• "But when outside political special interest groups like LULAC & the GI Forum get involved, that's all about politics"
  

• Which statements above convey to a reasonable person (that); the author "has no interest in the controversy"

•  "Again, just an outsider's opinion, but you might consider rewording that "politics" statement."
• I gotta call it like I see it Danny. that is just plain bullsh/t.
  

• Let us revisit the statement, "But when outside political special interest groups like LULAC & the GI Forum get involved, that's all about politics"

Why did LULAC and the American G I Forum need to "get involved"?

And why did I write to you, "I believe an apology is in order."

A: Because a powerful political agenda was grinding up a little person who was in the way. The little person was perceived to be in the way of the installation of a young athlete not quite ready to be installed. But money & power cannot buy what has to be earned. That is why you should apologize.

Was there a whisper last year to bump her up to the varsity?

Did Van Matre pass it on or make it happen (and then vacate)?

Did Mr H meet with Mr Elliff with gestures of killing a CCISD bond election?

We already know Mr Elliff passes the hot potatoes to the Cervantes Group?

So who sent the A D?

Cervantes or Elliff?

Maybe, you are an outsider and have absolutely no idea what I write about herein; however, I find it highly unlikely given the circumstances.

Just an outsider's opinion eh? The coach of the Mary Carroll High School Lady Tiger Volleyball Team is being forced out for a reason and you claim to have no interest in the controversy" however, you make several inferences in stating, "I have not attended a Carroll H.S. athletic event, nor contributed a dollar since my daughter graduated in 2000, hardly qualifying as a "huge" Tiger anything."

Now we are getting somewhere and yes indeed, you do have a dog in this fight.

1. You did support the Mary Carroll High School Tigers and their athletic program.
2. You have attended Carroll H.S. athletic events
3. You did, "contribute" financially to Tiger Athletics.
4. Finally, Mr. Heitkamp's daughter is on a winning Lady Tiger Volleyball Team and evidently Mr H is a huge fan of the Lady Tiger Volleyball Team and Tiger Athletics in general. I say this alone qualifies you as an interested party.

You have the balls to respond; thanks for the joust. You also have my respect and while the initial email was addressed to many; the message is for a select few who will receive it from good, loyal, team players such as yourself.

Thank You

Anton

Mr. Kenedeno,

I have no interest in the controversy.  However, I find it interesting that you say "Politics have no place in high school athletics"....yet, here comes LULAC & the GI Forum????

It seems to me that concerned parents should have some level of interest or concern, right or wrong, while letting the authorities make the decisions.  That to me is not politics.  But when outside political special interest groups like LULAC & the GI Forum get involved, that's all about politics.

Again, just an outsider's opinion, but you might consider rewording that "politics" statement.

Danny Brooks
