The Wisemans: Keeping it All in the Family?

Years ago a very savvy woman told us never to work for a family owned business. Why? No matter how close the family, there would be constant infighting with spouses jumping in to support their mates. As those old television listings would say: mayhem ensues.

Now we have a similar situation in the Lauderdale County School system. Just how common is it for spouses to work together at the same small rural school? We have no idea, but we can predict that at some point mayhem is destined to ensue.

Disgruntled Employees David & Hilda Wiseman

Some time ago during a situation stirred up by a would-be athlete turned local Baptist minister, we received some complaints about Lexington band director David Clayton Wiseman. Now he and his wife Hilda Jane Wiseman have filed a formal complaint against school administration.

Let's see how that works. Of the 95 or so school personnel, four have problems with administration and two of these are married to each other? Wow! What are the odds?

If anyone wants to record their problems with Wiseman, we'll be happy to publish the summary; however, in order to remedy the situation, parents and students need to contact the Lauderdale County School Board. 

Good luck!

Notice to local candidates, especially Lauderdale County Commission candidates: It would do well to take notice!
