Be prepared to receive transfer requests (If you are a Cobb Administrator), resumes by the boatloads, and applications from teachers at Lindley Middle School (Principals from other school systems). They want to “teach” and are requesting Asylum from their current duty station. Be forewarned that these teachers will not get a good letter of recommendation (LOR) from Mrs. Ervin or any other principal at the school. Mrs. Ervin doesn’t want anyone to leave the school in good standing, so she will do her best take a dump on their career if they try to make an exit. Therefore, all administrators will be ordered to remain silent, don’t write any LORs for anyone, and don’t serve as a phone reference. Along with that you may not receive any paperwork requested from her about “said” teacher. I will probably get lost in the mail, the fax won’t work that day, or the email will be down. Wink-wink. I’m not joking. Yes, it’s sad, unethical, and very unprofessional but that’s the world of Sandra “Wanna Be Oprah” Ervin. She’s pitiful. So principals looking for some Blue Chip, free agent teachers…..they are about to be on the market.
