Madison County man killed by alleged drunk driver in Franklin County

It is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the performance of a high or middle school administrator to begin with. But, the fact that he served as the Assistant Principal for a High School should only add credence to his abilities to serve the children at Madison County Middle School. Mr. Colquitt probably would not even know my name, and mention this only to show that I have an unbiased opinion, or as much as unbiased as it could be where politics are involved. I have three teenagers at Elbert County High School, with my oldest who will graduate in a few weeks an honor graduate, lettering in tennis for four years (and our High School doesn't even have tennis courts---talk about ridiculous). I have worked for years in the Middle School and High School, and both face such challenges that I don't know how any professional of his caliber, even consider such an undertaking. The politics alone in our school systems are causing many highly qualified professionals in the public school system to find jobs in other areas with higher pay, less stress, and MUCH better job security, and that is sad in this economy, that local politics so often determine who is and who is not qualified to teach, mentor, and train our children to be just a little better than us parents, and hopefully turn this mess around one day. Principal Colquitt may not personally know me, but I know him to have the patience, credibility, and know how to serve your school well, and I am one parent at Elbert Co who is sad, and a little angry myself, to see him go and serve your county when we so desperately needed him here.
