Congratulations Mrs. Boffy on your accomplishments may you go far in your quest for power and your lopsided ideals. - Mitchell Mallett Sat, 07 Apr 2012 10:05:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-23896 Well now she has won, and good that she has 10 yeara of experience, as a teacher. LPSS is one of the worse managed school systems and grades are low because of bad teachers, so I guess 10 years should be enough to put in and think you know it all. I bet you her kid will go to a private school, not because she knows better than to put him on a public one, but because of their religious views (yeah right) she couldn't stand being in the public system anymore, now she is going to come in and inflict her views on every one else. I would vote for a teacher from Faulk or Carencro Heights over one that teaches at magnet school any day. They know what is going on with our system. I guess her next stop: LT. Governor!!! - WTFHypocrit Sun, 23 Oct 2011 07:41:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-23887 go holly boffy for bese - Alexis Sat, 22 Oct 2011 19:30:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-23175 Let's see...She wins teacher of the year and then decides that see no longer wants to teach anymore. Maybe she should not have won the award. After ten years she "retires" from the school system and then jumps into another education position. It looks to me like she is going to be one of those people that scams two or three retirements from the state by the time its all over with. A little to much of an opportunist for my taste. - AHSPlayer Thu, 06 Oct 2011 19:53:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-22825 I LIVE IN LAKE CHARLES, LA.

This lady is definetly pulling the wool over the eyes of voters. Over $25,000 of her campaign contributions have come from 5 big donors located outside of this area...Try four from New Orleans and one millionaire business owner out of the Baton Rouge area. (aka Cajun Industries). If you want your neighborhood schools to be totally controlled by the state, then vote for Holly Boffy. If you want your local tax revenue diverted from local schools to fund New Orleans voucher programs, then vote for Holly Boffy. Her strings are definetly being pulled and will continue to be pulled if she makes it to BESE. It's also funny that the Association of Professional Educators of Louisiana (A+PEL), Holly's employer, purports to be non-political and non-union (hogwash). Sounds like their being funded by big money. Big money that wants to control your vote. - My Take Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:05:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-20409 Why have a BESE board if it's so political? We vote on people that only a certain group knows, and we're supposed to take their word on who to vote for. Maybe it should be the School boards to vote on the BESE board, or let the people of the state vote whether to keep it or abolish it. The school system keeps changing every year, and the legislature hasn't been able to increase the MFP's per student the last couple of years due to budetary constraints and Charter schools. Many teachers spend their own money and free time to better their classroom at their own expense. The dedicated ones do it because they care about the children. It is in their heart. One of the problems we have is when a teacher retires and goes back to work the next day. It's allowed by law, so what would you do if you had that opportunity. Good question, wouldn't you say. - Husband of a Teacher Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:42:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-19481 Dale Bayard is one of the few BESE members willing to stand up to the morons in the State Department of Education. He needs to be re-elected. Holly Boffy is a little political opportunist who is all talk and no substance. She hides her agenda to advance herself behind her "sweet" exterior. A vote for her is a vote against public schools. - old teacher Fri, 08 Jul 2011 00:12:31 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18472 I'll spell it out, M Y O f f e r, a Huge Yard On A Major thoroughfare in busy lafayette, Ideal Vista Vision, a donation of C O I N 'S, a 4 lb. sledge with a willing arm to put up signs in twenty pwercent of the yards in lafayette parish, All of this I would give to be a part of busting up the Couillion Parade. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Mon, 06 Jun 2011 21:43:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18445 If I should ever need brain surgery send me a brain surgeon and should I need someone to insure my child's education, send me a teacher...........Its actually a no-brainer, Plumpy - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Mon, 06 Jun 2011 08:13:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18440 @Plumpy Really....needing a businesman familiar with the real world?? Did you really just say that? Step one foot into a classroom businessman .....that's the "Real world". Businesmen would only make decisions about a world he doesn't live in. Mine and students' I TEACH! - TeachMeShowMe Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:20:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18420 The last thing our educational system needs is someone making decisions who does not have classroom experience. We need fewer business men and more educators making our educational decisions. Boffy is genuinely passionate about education and the future of students. It's time we start electing people who are involved in our educational system for the right reasons, not just deep pockets. - Teach Sat, 04 Jun 2011 19:31:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18416 hey educate jack ass...i mint to spell bussiness this way...duuuh - Plumpy Sat, 04 Jun 2011 18:35:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18411 Pllumpy maybe you need a teacher, you misspelled business. And Boffy isn't associated with NEA. - Educate Sat, 04 Jun 2011 14:00:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18409 Last thing we need is a jack ass NEA teacher on BESE. We need a Bussiness man ! Somebody who is familiar with the real world ! - Pllumpy Sat, 04 Jun 2011 07:59:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18395 Well said Gary. Holly Boffy is the obvious choice and exactly who we need on the State Board of Elementary & Secondary Education (BESE). This is an incredibly important position because the leadership on BESE directs the fate of our public school system. Let us all hope Mrs. Boffy is elected for the sake of our school, but let's all get out and vote just to be sure she does! - Cole Griffin Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:56:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18374 I'm all for buffin boffy, me. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 03 Jun 2011 07:32:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18349 Any body but Bayard. Boff um Boffy!! - The Original Northsidian Thu, 02 Jun 2011 15:54:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8425-former-top-teacher-eyeing-bese#comment-18328 By the way, Boffy's possible opponent, Bayard, is the guy the Ind quoted as saying of his refusal to vote for new state biology textbooks: “Can you just swear on a stack of Bibles and bet your life [that evolution is correct]?” Bayard continues hypothetically. “And they say, ‘Absolutely not.’ I say, ‘Well then why do we print a textbook that says that? Why can’t we provide the children with textbooks that provide objective educational methods to look at what’s out there? Must we go out and do the research ourselves? We’re going to spend $72 million with a textbook company, and they’re not going to swear this is accurate?’ They don’t even want to put a disclaimer in their textbook.” Let's just hope Boffy is not also pro-creationism. - Farrow Thu, 02 Jun 2011 13:41:56 +0100
