I don't know how this is going turn out yet, but I do know that having to associations in a small area is not good. Not good for wages not good for assignments.



One of the people who left and is a college official, Ran for interpreter and lost to. Another ran for secretary and lost. So there's a lot of ego involved here.

A college official being held back cause of older officials blocking their progress.

Time shoukd mean nothing in getting good assignments. If the officials are good enough but not getting games because they're being blocked by older people I don't blame them from moving on.

Exactly. Wanna know why there’s a shortage of high school officials? Well, one of the reasons is because of crap like this.

Seniority means something, but at the end of the day if your best officials aren’t getting a shot, don’t be surprised when something like this happens.
