The Jackson (TN) Links, Incorporated provides 175 Books to Washington-Douglas Head-Start Program Page 13 METRO NASHVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS EMPLOYEE Superintendent seeks competitive pay for JMCSS employees RESIGNS DUE TO LOW SALARY - Page 9
Board approves continuation budget as strategic plans continue
Educators, Others Respond In response to the Metro Nashville Schools employee’s resignation during a council meeting, this issue is part of a state wide and national challenge for school districts. Our state lags behind the nation in teacher pay and in education funding. The state pays about $11,139 per student ranking 44th out of 51 states and the District of Columbia, according to a 2021 report by the Education Law Center. Tennessee spends nearly $4k less per student than national average. With the increase in the cost of living and increased insurance cost, teacher and support staff compensation becomes a critical issue and the pandemic probably made it more intense. During the past 18 months, the JMCSS has given a salary increase, paid out three bonuses, and absorbed last year’s insurance increase but collectively we must do better to retain experienced teachers and support staff. During our recent budget discussions, we were made aware of the fact that over 80% of our budget is comprised of salaries and benefits. With that being said, we are currently in the process of adjusting our budget and revising our salary schedules to encourage retention and increase base pay. The ultimate goal is an increase in student performance. James ‘Pete’ Johnson Board Chairman - School Board District 1 “James W. Johnson” <Jwjohnson2@jmcss.org> Pictured above (l to r):Morris Merriweather, Doris Black and Dr. Charles H. Clark, Jr.

MARSHALL COLE’S BIG DAY
Everybody who fishes have desires of catching a fish so big that it takes help to get it in. Well that happened to Marshall the other day at Brown Lake in Lexington. Brown Lake rests in the scenic NATCHEZ TRACE STATE PARK. The lake offers pier fishing, bank fishing and boat fishing ramps. It not only has big catfish but has a management program with emphasis on trophy bass development. Mr. Cole of Jackson caught a 32 pound catfish and he says it took he and two more men 30 minutes to land the big fish. He is extremely happy about the fun they had, not to mention the fun they will have at the table too. PHOTO IS MARSHALL COLE AND A 32 LB TROPHY CATFISH.

Average gasoline prices in Tennessee and this area have risen 23.3 cents per gallon in the last week! Averaging $4.49 per gallon as of Monday according to GasBuddy’s survey of 3,821 fuel stations in Tennessee.

Of the nearly 500 people surveyed, approximately 98 percent of those who commented said fuel cost have drastically impacted both their travel to and from work, as well as any hopes or plans of a vacation. “It affects my weekly trips to Jackson for Paracenthesis and my trips to Memphis for doctor visits and procedures,” said Sherry Floyd. “It’s affected my day to day life,” said Kelly Keistler. “I think twice before I jump in my car and go somewhere.”

JPD CONT’D
by: Destinee Hannah - wreg.com Posted: Jun 14, 2022 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former Memphis police officer was indicted on federal charges after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman over 20 years ago while he was on duty. Bridges Randle, 47, responded to a vandalism call at the victim’s residence in June 2000. Randle sexually assaulted the victim while he was at her home, according to the District Attorney General. Officers were responding to a disturbance involving the victim and her boyfriend. After officers left the scene, the victim said another man she believed to be a police officer came to her apartment to ask her more questions. She then said the man pulled a gun, forced her into a bedroom and raped her. The case sat cold for 14 years until the victim’s rape kit was finally processed, linking Randle to the case. WREG first broke the news that thousands of rape kits were backlogged. Randle, who has also went under the names Ajamu Abiola Banjoko and Oluwafemi Abiola Banjoko, was a Memphis police officer from 1998 to 2001. Randle was previously indicted on rape charges in 2014 for the same incident, but the federal District Attorney has indicted him for aggravated sexual abuse. He was found not guilty on the earlier charge in 2018, according to a report by The Commercial Appeal. He is charged with committing civil rights offense including aggravated sexual abuse. Randle is facing a life sentence if he is convicted.

She said with her daughter’s father passing away and being a single mom, she can’t remain at the job.

If you don’t take care of these people, the mothers of the schools are going to be gone,” Washington said. Washington told the council members to stop focusing on building stadiums and new entertainment venues, and instead take care of the locals.
Byron Elam for County Commission Certainly, there are JMCSS employees facing this same reality. Everyday they work hard to serve and educate our young people. But, they can barely afford to live. Instead of increasing our spending towards building and maintaining a jail, we should direct taxpayer dollars to increasing the pay of our teachers, aids, and staff. Let’s invest our taxpayer dollars where we receive the most return- our children.
We talk the talk but are we walking the walk?
I am not in the least bit surprised. As my book said, Enough is Enough- Public Education Has Spiril Out Of Control. In this country, public education isn’t a priority, therefore, why are we surprised when it’s shown to us. Those who doesn’t value public education, place their money & there support with private school. There are still some devoted and dedicated teachers, administrators & support staff that have stayed the course because they care about students and especially those of color & the other disadvantage students. Those in the public education field are simply tired and are giving up. They have pulled the public schools wagon long enough with no or little help from the community, the church community, civil rights organizations, social organizations and political community etc. Question, where are those that want to do the right thing? In conclusion, let’s not blame those who are resigning, let’s ask ourselves, what have we done for public education or what have we done to stop the wheels of public education? We talk the talk but are we walking the walk? Morris Merriweather, former JMC School Board member and retired Educator
DON’T BURY THE PAST
By Richard Donnell, Sr. To my (and countless others’) great disappointment and chagrin, I was saddened to learn of the apparent destruction of a great number of artifacts and papers that had been placed in the time capsule that was unearthed two weeks ago. The Bicentennial Committee that was tasked with opening the capsule reported that it was inundated with over 200 gallons of water that had leaked into the capsule over the course of 50 years since its burial in 1972. My interest in this matter was piqued when I imagined the items that my fellow citizens may have considered worthy of placement in the vault. Did the items include priceless pictures, letters to one’s future self, valuable heirlooms, one-of-a-kind vinyl phonograph records, autographed program instruments, etc.? You get the point. Unfortunately, the destruction of the contents places a damper on the jubilation that the Bicentennial celebrations afford. Upon notice of the breach of the vault and the attendant destruction of its contents, the Bicentennial Committee released a statement lamenting its disappointment. One member of the committee went further and used the disappointment as a learning lesson when he said, according to media accounts, that the committee would use the lesson learned when designing and burying the new capsule on August 13, 2022, for unearthing in 2072. While the desire to preserve a time capsule thing is noble and appropriate, let me offer what I believe is a better lesson learned. Acquire the contents for the capsule, but don’t bury it! Don’t take the chance of water seeping into the container even after better sealing procedures will have been utilized. Instead, place a smaller capsule (nowhere near the size of the last one) in an aboveground encasement that is climate-controlled for moisture and/or hermetically sealed. Place it at a site in the Madison County Courthouse or Jackson City Hall with a plaque informing the public that it will be opened on a certain date in 2072. One year prior to the opening date, the county and city could sponsor a contest where citizens are urged to guess the contents of the capsule. Once opened 50 years from now, the Sestercentennial Committee would compare guesses to actual contents and 2072 residents would see just how close or far off their guesses would be. A prize or prizes would be offered to those persons whose guesses more closely approximate the actual. This would be fun for everyone involved. I would love to participate in the opening of the capsule, but I have done the math and the odds are against me. In 2072, I will be 121 years old and I probably won’t feel like putting my clothes on and heading downtown!

“A College Degree: What it Means to Me”
By Jaydin Poe Throughout my adolescence, going to college was a constant reminder in my house. I was always told that securing a college degree was the key to obtaining a financially successful life, so it stands to reason that what has resonated with me all my life is picturing myself as a college graduate. Opportunities for the advancement of Black men, I’ve discovered, are limited in the small city of Jackson. Due to this, I have always felt the need to go someplace where I can not only thrive, but also receive the opportunity to succeed without enduring the stigma that comes with cultural and social hindrances. I believe that to accomplish this, attending college and pursuing my degree will provide the best opportunity to establish new connections and allow me to lead a successful life. I’ve played basketball since I was 4 years old, so it was only natural for me to dream of someday playing in the NBA or somewhere else professionally. My passion for the sport allowed me to shift my mindset to viewing college from more than just an academic approach. I’ve always been told of the importance in having a backup plan, but I’ll admit that at first, I was focused only on playing ball while in college and nothing else. I’ve always had formidable talent on the court, but after sustaining a few injuries, my dreams of becoming a professional athlete slowly started to fade away. I was lost, having no idea what I wanted to do with my life at this point, but what I did know was that I HAD to go to college. Fortunately, I have always excelled academically, and it is from those efforts that I was granted the opportunity to attend JCM Early-College High School where I am currently working towards completing an associate degree in General Studies. While this gave me a good idea of what to expect from being immersed in the college environment, it was still unclear to me what I wanted to do with my life. Pursuing a bachelor’s degree began to seem more unlikely without having a clue as to what field I wanted the degree to be in. Last summer, however, I finally got the answer I was looking for. I started to work and train under my father, a successful and established electrician. For the first time in my life (outside of sports, that is), I finally felt as if I had found my calling; I was fairly comfortable working with wires and cables and learning the “in’s and out’s” of what to expect in the field every day was exciting to me.
By the start of my senior year, I knew it was time for me to decide what I would do with my life, but that decision came easier than I expected; my goal is to further the knowledge and experience I have gained by pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga.

Superintendent seeks competitive pay for JMCSS employees
JACKSON, Tenn. – Jackson-Madison County’s state ranking for teacher salaries is a point of concern for Board members and Superintendent Dr. Marlon King. Improving compensation for teachers, coaches, support staff, and substitute teachers is one reason district leaders approved a continuation budget for FY 23 during the June School Board meeting. “We’re pretty far behind as it relates to teacher salaries. We have to go back and be competitive with salaries across the board,” Dr. Marlon King said. Dr. King will work with his executive leadership team and Madison County Finance Director Karen Bell to determine ways to restructure the current budget to impact salary schedules and supplements. The ultimate goal is an increase in student achievement. “We’ll take the next several weeks to develop an adjusted budget that will encourage retention. We want our veteran employees to stay longer, and we want to reward those who work with our priority schools or at high economically disadvantaged schools,” said Board chairman Pete Johnson. In addition to becoming more competitive with salary schedules, Dr. King plans to continue departmental adjustments at the district level. Plans to merge the district’s technology team with Madison County’s Informational Technology Department were also announced at the Board meeting. “We’ll continue to look at ways to reduce duplication of services. Organizational efficiency is a high priority for our system. We want to make sure our foundation is solid and consistent,” Deputy Superintendent Dr. Ricky Catlett said. Any salary increases approved for 2022-2023 would be announced after salary schedules are adjusted. The first round of budget amendments is expected in September. -- www.jmcss.org 06-16-22 CSENEWS P.10

BLUES POEMS
(Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series) Hardcover – September 2, 2003 by Kevin Young (Editor) Born in African American work songs, field hollers, and the powerful legacy of the spirituals, the blues traveled the country from the Mississippi delta to “Sweet Home Chicago,” forming the backbone of American music. In this anthology–the first devoted exclusively to blues poems–a wide array of poets pay tribute to the form and offer testimony to its lasting power. The blues have left an indelible mark on the work of a diverse range of poets: from “The Weary Blues” by Langston Hughes and “Funeral Blues” by W. H. Auden, to “Blues on Yellow” by Marilyn Chin and “Reservation Blues” by Sherman Alexie. Here are blues-influenced and blues-inflected poems from, among others, Gwendolyn Brooks, Allen Ginsberg, June Jordan, Richard Wright, Nikki Giovanni, Charles Wright, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Cornelius Eady. And here, too, are classic song lyrics–poems in their own right–from Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Ma Rainey, and Muddy Waters. https://www.amazon.com/Blues-Poems-Everymans-Library-Pocket/dp/0375414584
