District administrative
budget cut by $141,000
Savings result from resignations, reorganization
Bv Josh Daniel ° A
By Josh Daniel
of The Baytown Sun
Acting on the recent resignations of
four administrators, Superintendent Hairy
Gnffith has outlined $141,000 in cuts to
the Goose Creek school district’s budget.
“In this budget crunch, we’re trying to
bring down our administrative budget
through attrition,” Griffith said.
The resignations include those of Jim
Dobbins, executive director of information
management services; Kim Goertemiller,
director of physical education and girls’
athletics; Dr. Ann Wallace, coordinator of
student support services; and Mel Capelo,
secondary supervisor at Kilgore Center.
Dobbins, who is paid $65,103 a year to
oversee the district’s computer services,
will resign Jan. 15 to become an associate
chancellor in the North Harris County
Community College System.
He will not be replaced. The district
will pay consultants from the Texas
Education Agency and hire a clerk to pick
up some of Dobbins’ work. Employees
who reported to Dobbins will report
instead to Alan King, assistant superinten-
dent for business services.
Griffith predicts that the district will
save $30,000 this year through the IMS
reorganization.
Ms. Goertemiller, who resigned last
month at $44,218 a year and moved to the
Clear Creek school district, will be
replaced by a lead teacher. That lead
teacher will take over some of Ms
Goertemiller’s duties, while other staff
take over the remainder.
Griffith predicts savings of $15,000
with the move — the difference between
Ms. Goertemiller’s salary and the esti-
mated salary of the as-yet-unhired lead
teacher.
The two special-education employees
will also go unreplaced. Capelo and Dr.
Wallace earned, including benefits,
$40,000 and $56,000 respectively. By
redistributing their duties to other staff,
Griffith said, the district will save
$96,000.
Capelo resigned to work in the Pasade-
na school district and Dr. Wallace retired.
“We can contract our staff some and not
hanm kids,” Griffith told trustees Monday.
“But your administrators are your eyes,
your ears, and your hands. You can pluck
out your eyes and cut off your hands if
you’re not careful.”
Griffith also recommended that trustees
not renew the district’s contract with
ServiceMaster, the company that oversees
school maintenance. The move could save
$220,000, Griffith said.

MONT BELVIEU - City Council
has voted 4-1 to replace Neil Iverson as
city attorney with Firmin Hickey Jr., the
lawyer who has worked with the city to
codify its ordinances.
Councilman Carrell Richardson voted
against the move.
Councilwoman Gaynell Leming, at
foe Nov. 23 council meeting, requested
foe item be placed on foe agenda for
consideration. She made foe motion
Monday, and it was seconded by Coun-
cilman Vernon Kemp.
“Mr. Iverson has served this city for
11 years. He’s been here longer than I
have, Richardson said. “He has done
an outstanding job and has never gotten

“I don’t think he’s foe best man for
Mont Belvieu, I never have and I never
will, said Kemp. “As long as I have a
vote, I will use it.”
Speaking to Iverson, Mayor Joe Dut-
ton said, “I appreciate what you’ve done
for the city. I hope you would remain
open to being called upon at a later date
if it’s necessary for help with oil and
gas.”
Iverson informed foe council that this
