Kevin Bott Salary About to Skyrocket as He Leaves For Santa Fe School District

Apparently our LISD assistant superintendent is about to leave for greener pastures. There was some debate on Facebook as to whether the LISD should promote from within or look outside. Some wag commented “hell, I’ll do it, what’s it pay?”

Well, here is your answer. The paper pushers at the top of the LISD are paid VERY well. Head honcho LISD superintendent Chane Rascoe is paid $170,000 per year PLUS bennies! That is more than the governor of Texas, by the way.

Bott rakes in the dough too. Here is a list of his salary over the years:

2015: Principal $76,906

2016: Principal $79,325

2017: Principal $82,056

2018: Asst Superintendent $97,990

2019: Asst Superintendent $101,450

2020: Data is not available yet, but thanks to Chane Rascoe’s recommendations, all paper pushers (administrators) were given a 5% raise on March 3rd, 2020 [front page news] – incidentally just WEEKS before Covid hit and allowed them all to take the rest of the year off. That raise would put Bott at $106,522.

That’s a pretty damn good chunk of change for (1) a nine-month work year (2) a job with LOTS of bennies (3) a job where you don’t actually have to educate any kids (4) being an ASSISTANT and (5) a small town where a lot of people bust their ass 12 months a year and make less than half of that.

Anyways, Santa Fe ISD is even more profligate with their spending, luckily for Bott.

The retiring super – Elizabeth Leigh Wall – is shown making $220,308 back in 2019 – and I have zero doubt that number has been bumped up higher since then. Plus Bott will only have to oversee four schools instead of the current five.

The Santa Fe ISD had FIFTY PEOPLE apply for that job. That’s not what happens when you aren’t paying enough. That’s what happens when the position is WILDLY overpaid. This is a truism that escapes idiot bureaucrats like Finley deGraffenreid and “Doctor” Chane Rascoe year after year as they blather about “staying competitive”.

Are these desk jockeys worth these exorbitant sums? We’ll get into that soon, but here is a little teaser info for a few of our schools. Notice the school rankings start to shit the bed (red line) right around 2016….when “Doctor” Rascoe took over.

Also of note, the year 2017 is when the schools decided to start spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy every kid a laptop. They spent $361,000 in 2017, $300,000 in 2018 and $348,000 last month.

Over ONE MILLION DOLLARS on laptops in four years. Let me repeat that: the Lampasas School district spent ONE MILLION DOLLARS on laptops since 2017.

As you can see, that had zero impact on school performance.

Tell Me Again Why Kids Are STILL Forced To Wear Masks In School???

Masks are NOT a social norm. They are a social derangement rooted in pseudoscience and charlatanry. They are not some tradition, they are a new and invasive thing forced upon us just in the past 12 months (and never previously). They were known not to work and the data from the past 12 months has proved it yet again.

You are not doing people a favor by catering to their baseless fears and dogmatic superstitions and the pathologies of the most fearful are NOT a sound basis to seek social norms for society as whole.

Masks were never needed and never effective. Coddling those who still crave them even when vaccinated (**cough** Kuehne **cough**) is like pretending that you hear the same voices a schizophrenic does and agreeing to act like they are real.

“Doctor” Chane Rascoe: Get Off Your Ass and Earn Your Ludicrous $170,000 Salary

Let’s go over what’s happened recently:

Abbott has rescinded the mask order.

Proof is irrefutable that kids don’t really spread Covid or die from it.

The CDC has admitted they were TOTALLY wrong and the virus is NOT spread through surface contact.

The CDC also no longer recommends Plexiglas barriers.

Cases are plummeting. Positivity plummeting. Hospitalizations plummeting. Deaths plummeting.

The vaccine is available to everyone.

So what does “Doctor” Chane Rascoe decide to do? Absolutely nothing. His attitude is “Eh, let’s just make them suffer til the end of the school year.”

God forbid you lift a finger to change anything, eh Chane?

Kids are still being FORCED to wear masks. Schools are still wasting piles of money on scrubbing, fumigating and Lysoling everything 100 times a day. There are STILL Plexiglas barriers all over the place. Little kids are forced to sit on dots six feet from each other like dogs.

Disgusting. Grow some balls and rescind all this bullshit. I’ve never seen such a huge gap between what a bureaucrat is paid and his actual usefulness as I see with Chane Rascoe. Good thing they just gave him a huge raise. He’s really earning it.

Maybe THIS Is Why Infection Rates Are WAY Higher At The High School

A massive Danish study on mask usage found no statistically significant difference in coronavirus infection rates between mask-wearers and non-mask-wearers. In fact, according to the data, mask usage may actually increase the likelihood of infection (**cough** Lampasas High School **cough**)

https://acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817

It’s also important to note that these were surgical masks!! This means that your ridiculous cloth masks and the bandanas that some ‘health authorities’ love to recommend don’t stand a chance at all.

Not that it matters that high school kids are getting infected: who cares??? We NEED to spread this thing around and get herd immunity. There is no better way to do this than to let it spread among YOUNG HEALTHY HUMANS – like school kids under the age of 20. They are more likely to get hit by lightning than to die of Covid.

Now, if you are a 300 pound diabetic 8th grader, you have some problems already and your parents should be ashamed. Go buy a Narwall Mask and a Tyvek suit and get on a fricking diet.

If you are 78 years old and scared for your health, be my guest and wear masks 24/7. I don’t blame you, even though tons of old farts have gotten this and survived quite easily (Jack Nicklaus and his wife, Nick Saban, Donald Trump, Sen Chuck Grassley, etc). It is no skin off my ass if you wear a mask.

But don’t give me dirty looks at Walmart for showing my bare face like I have done for 50 years on this earth. I feel great and healthy. You know what that means? It can mean a few things:

I am perfectly healthy and don’t have Covid – therefore, I don’t need a mask. Kiss my ass.

OR

I DO have Covid and am asymptomatic – which means I am an ASTRONOMICAL longshot to spread this to you…especially walking past you for 3 seconds in a grocery store. Therefore, I don’t need a mask. Kiss my ass again.

Now, if I get sick in the future and can’t stop coughing, I promise I will stay home and lay in bed watching Netflix and drinking Gatorade and will be nowhere near you. Therefore, kiss my ass one last time. If I ever cough or sneeze on you in a store or bar, feel free to punch my face. But it’ll never happen.

This thing was running around here LONG before March 15th and many of us have already had it. So stop being such pussies and thinking every healthy person is secretly a time bomb. There is nothing more sickening to me than seeing a 25yo chick driving by herself in a car with a mask on. That is very clear evidence that you are a serious moron.

“Doctor” Chane Rascoe spilled a good deal of ink in today’s Radiogram explaining why it’s not his fault the high school had to close. He makes it sound like his hands are tied and we just do what that state tells us to do if we have a 2% population of infected kids in the schools. Setting aside that this 2% number is completely arbitrary and meaningless and was just pulled from somebody’s anus 6 months ago, I must then wonder why we even NEED highly-paid superintendents and “assistant/assoc/deputy to the superintendents” to carry water for far-away state nannies. Seems to me we could cut out the middle man.

It also doesn’t explain why we don’t get rid of the idiotic mask mandate for kids. There are MOUNTAINS of proof they do nothing for kids. And don’t tell me THAT is a state mandate either, because just a couple months ago they sent out a survey floating the moronic idea that the under-10 crowd of kids should ALSO be wearing masks. That was (thankfully!) voted down but it tells me that the mask thing is open to a vote, no?

If the schools had just opened normally in August without all the ridiculous masks, plexiglas and fumigation of buses while Lysol wiping every other single surface in creation, the virus would have harmlessly run through the young population by now and this would all be over with.

But no. We are prolonging this whole thing AND spending a fortune doing it. All to “protect” kids that EVEN FAUCI now finally admits are safe from this thing.

But what about the teachers?? Well, for teachers under the age of 50, and that’s the vast majority of them, the odds of surviving a coronavirus infection are roughly 99.98%. For teachers under 70, the survival odds drop all the way to 99.5%. And by the way, if teachers do get sick, it likely won’t be from teaching. Children appear not to spread the coronavirus, at least not effectively.

Guess you don’t need a high IQ to make big bucks as a school administrator.
