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.”
