I am so Happy for Terrell. We finally got rid of him. Our students and facluty will now be able to have a better school system. I thought this day would never come while my kids are in school. Private schools in your area should be happy because in a year or two, their enrollment will grow.

My apologies to you NLR Schools. Mr. Rodgers is one self centered person. He is unable to see someone else's side and believes his way is the right way. Terrell ISD has lost a lot of good teachers because of him. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Good luck with that.
