More About Carla

Wow! Many folks have contacted me wanting to know where they can read more about the notorious former Cranfills Gap Superintendent Carla Sigler and the infamous Cranfills Gap school board members, Kenny Wiese, Jeff Rose, Kathie Witte, Shelly Stuart, Virgil Tindall, and Jackie Ray Sorrels. I will soon be posting sites where you can read more about them, if you so desire. Most postings will be articles that ran in the newspaper, The Bosque County News--and most are on the front page, I think starting with the February 2007 issues currently online in the Bosque County News Archives.  Everyone especially wants to read the expose on Carla that details the controversial Alaska events that were the forerunners to the Cranfills Gap Texas fiasco.  

It is just incredible how Superintendent Carla Sigler got away with so many shameful and incompetent actions. Throughout history, there have been many charismatic leaders --such as David Koresh, Jim Jones--- even Adolph Hitler --who have had the appeal and personality to accomplish outrageous injustices.  Few people have the courage to stand up to such a leader and say, "Whoa--wait a minute--that's not right--that's not how you treat folks, especially children."

In my opinion, this woman, Carla Sigler, should never be in contact with any child, considering her past history with children under her authority. In some instances, it appears to me Carla Sigler's actions broke the law, she knew she broke the law, and she just did not care---anything to get revenge on her perceived foes.

Perhaps it is like being a politician--you have incredible power that can be misused to influence others to do your will, whether for good or bad. The thing wrong with that,  is that absolute power corrupts absolutely, as there is usually no one able to stop you if you decide to do wrong. 

  In other instances, it appears to me to be just plain old incompetence that caused so many students to be pulled from under Carla Sigler's authority at the Cranfills Gap school.  

  Of course, Superintendent Carla Sigler had already done things that had compromised herself, before she resigned--like leaving Michelle DuBay, the Science teacher,  that threatening message on her telephone and sending her that letter, then lying to everyone that the attorney told her to send it.  I believe she felt she could do whatever she wanted to do, and there was not one thing anyone could or would do-- as Miss Carla was movin' on.  No one had previously been able to do anything to her --she had escaped unscathed. If you have no conscience, you don't really care what you do to harm others--so what if they are children? 

You just do all the damage you can, and then you move on. Who cares about  the chaos you leave behind, at the school or the town? You are movin' on, Darlin'---You won't be there---You won't be the one who has to deal with the fallout----So let someone else pick up the pieces from the horrific mess you have made.

  You, Darlin'--you just move on to the next unsuspecting victims.  No matter that the district  might be drained of funds --some spent on your rabid supporters--especially  one school board member who insists on a $10,000 barn being built almost exclusively for the use of her child--because Superintendent Carla Sigler had already delegated those funds for that purpose, and it should be built whether the district can afford it or not...and there really is a question of affording it, after the disastrous tenure of Carla Sigler.  

And, Carla, what about those outrageous raises, such as a $6,000 raise IN ONE YEAR to one of your biggest supporters--the one I saw, the one who had you all hugged up when I went back into the school after the Cranfills Gap graduation ceremony, when everyone had left--or so you both thought.  Things like these have finally come to light, and the entire town sees just how badly you misspent their hard-earned taxpayer money.

 And this is to say nothing of the all important district academic rating which dropped drastically to a dangerous level under your watch. You left the district in almost dire straits, though it was in a most excellent shape when you arrived in town. Who could have dreamed the damage you and your friends would do?

 Doesn't matter---you're not there--you've moved on to bigger and better things! You have done that before--why would this time be any different? Uh-oh, wait a minute--this time the law was broken, and it can be proven that the law was broken-- not only by you, butby the incompetent members of the schoolboard --all but one--who didn't know the law and didn't care about the law, even when they were informed by experts that they were breaking the law. The school board members--all but one---were your willing accomplices to anything you wanted to do. You were smart enough to be sure their personal agendas were being fulfilled---that is the only reasonable explanation for their backing you and your actions like a flock of mindless sheep.

 This time, Darlin', you--Carla Sigler--are being investigated--- along with Cranfills Gap school board members Kenny Weise, Jeff Rose, Kathie Witte, Shelly Stuart, Sue Lee, Virgil Tindall, and Jackie Ray Sorrels--by the Bosque County District Attorney's office. Yes, Carla has moved on, but the stench of Carla Sigler is still there.  Carla, you might not slither off the hook this time-- there might actually be a consquence for you as a result of your illegal actions. And look at the devastating consquences --intended or not--of your actions on the Gap school and the town itself.

On the surface, Carla, you appear an attractive, charming individual with a beautiful speaking voice and a mouth full of the right words. But pretty is as pretty does. In my opinion, your actions prove you are a pitiful and almost tragic figure. However, it is the Cranfills Gap school and the town of Cranfills Gap--the students and the people-- who will pay the biggest price of all for your incompetence, revenge--whatever it was--- and that is the real tragedy.
