The New McKinney South
Friends and Family Network II
Tired of that high tax bill?
Are you getting what you're paying for?

Less than half of your tax dollars are going for your children! The majority of the rest go to administrative salaries.

Mr. Moore, was hired from McKinney ISD as Lovejoy superintendent. Mr. Moore does not have a PhD, as many other district superintendents have. Though less qualified than other candidates, he is earning much more than all surrounding 3A districts superintendents (link) and almost the same salary as surrounding district superintendents who have a PhD and lead districts eight times the size of Lovejoy ISD.
Dr. Ken Helvey, Allen ISD, salary $174,658, enrollment 16,463
MR. Ted Moore, Lovejoy ISD, salary $173,000, enrollment 2,094

Is Lovejoy the new McKinney South or is this an additional Friends and Family network? Are your education tax dollars paying for the best for your kids or the best of friends?

New Hires for 2007-08
Our LISD principals are working diligently to complete the hiring process during the month of June. Again, Lovejoy ISD is very fortunate to have a deep pool of quality applicants-this year we have over 50 applications per open position. The pool is deep at every level, elementary, middle, and high school. So far, our principals have selected 15 new teachers during the month of June which gets us very close to being fully staffed for the new school year.

You know that I always like to address the rumor mill head on. I have heard that some are saying that LISD is only hiring applicants who have a masters degree and 10 years of experience. That is inaccurate. I have also heard that LISD is only hiring people who are working in McKinney ISD. That is also inaccurate. Our selection process has considerable depth to it and we are doing whatever it takes to bring in the best people to work with the children of Lovejoy ISD. Our middle school and high school principals, Gavan and Mike, have spelled out a very ambitious program for our Lovejoy children. I whole heartedly endorse the idea that we are creating a program in LISD that is second to none. However, the prerequisite to any standard-setting program is a top notch staff. You should expect us to deliver what we have promised and to have confidence that we must hire the best and brightest teachers in order to give your children the education that they deserve.
