Not at Gibbs High!
What was Judge Andy Jackson thinking?
As Betty Bean writes on A-4, former school board
member Bill Phillips pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vandalism and was
sentenced to 25 hours of community service. He asked to serve it at Gibbs High School,
and the judge said yes.
That’s nuts.
Gibbs High principal Lynn Hill said he would have to
approve any public service at his school before it could happen.
Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre was traveling, but a
spokesperson said he “has concerns” and would “carefully and personally”
review Phillips’ request to serve at Gibbs.
Surely calmer heads will prevail. Phillips has
supported Gibbs High in many ways, including financially. But his behavior
recently leads us to say: “Go get better, Bill. But stay away from our
kids.”
