Manvel High School Principal Darrell Alexander, in a phone interview before the meeting, moved to squash rumors that he was somehow involved.
“I’m not under investigation for anything,” Alexander said.
"I'm not under investigation for anything." Heh.
I'd like to nominate this statement for a Brazoria County version of the Bimbo Award. The Bimbo Award was created by Merrie Spaeth, a former media director for President Reagan. According to Ms. Spaeth, the criterion for the Bimbo Award is that "the speaker causes the listener to believe exactly the opposite of what is said." Ms. Spaeth continues: "The award is a reminder that repeating negative words only reinforces the negative message as well as misses the opportunity to convey the right message to the reader or listener."
Let this be a lesson for Mr. Alexander and everyone else. Sometimes "No comment" is the best comment.

PREDICTIONS:
1. Houston's summer will be hot and humid.
2. The Astros will miss the playoffs.
3. Darrell Alexander will not be principal at MHS for the 2010-11 school year. (We should at least resign ourselves to the likelihood of that event.)

As of this afternoon, AISD is looking for someone to be a HS principal. Unless the guy at Alvin HS has left, your prediction is correct!
and shortly after the position was posted, it was removed. something is fishy.
Anon,
Look at this document, posted by AISD today at 4:54 p.m. Notice two things: (1) A counselor position is open at Nolan Ryan; and (2) Darrell Alexander is still listed as principal at MHS. I expect the second one to change.
It seems that you doubt there will be any changes at Alvin HS. I agree with you there. But what do we know about the Associate Principal there?
I wonder if the magically disappearing job posting for a HS principal was pulled until an official announcement can be made.

Color me surprised. It appears the HS principal vacancy really is at Alvin High. Although the principal position at AHS is listed as "to be announced", Darrell Alexander is still identified as principal at MHS.
