Former Pine Bluff School Board Member Sounds Off on Takeover

Pine Bluff, the ark. - Former director of Pine Bluff School talks about poor management saying this led the state school to take over to the school district

Due to financial problems, the Arkansas State Education Ministry took over this area two weeks ago.

Henry Davner is a member of the delegated Board of Education. He stated that the reason why the old board had decided the budget was wrong and that it ultimately leads to the regional financial crisis.

"This is not your money, you should not receive money from children, we need to penny them all pensies," he said. "Some people in Pineburgh do not care about their children, they care about how much they can earn, and where they are."

"I know that it is crowded," Dabner said. "Some Board members are paying attention to friends and more people who have relationships with them."

Earlier this year the province recommended layoffs to save the area. The Ministry of Education outlines changes in personnel to be done at school. Dabner said the board had ignored the recommendation and elected to rebuild. He said that in some cases executives should be reduced and brought up for organization of regional salary arrangements.

"This is a change in the names of various occupations and we have not cut it off, for example, the assistant manager has been transferred to the dean of the university," he said. "These positions should not exist"

Dabner said the board met with Stephens Inc. and received free financial restructuring support, but Dabner said the board had voted for it.

As the state-designated inspector Jeremy Owoh took over, he called the decision past

"Of course, I would like to confirm the type of position that can be reduced from the overall staffing," he said. "We are still working hard to find financial agreements, contracts and similar things."

Dr. Owoh said the auditor is using expenditures in this region to ensure that all funds are posted. He stated that the auditor has also passed employee contracts to confirm that employees are satisfied with their duties.

"I am doing my best to carry out this work," he said. "We also need to focus on the elements of education and take care of the students we currently have."

"This is about everyone's children, I hope everyone's children will succeed," he said. "They should get the best we can offer."
