Concession Stand at Baseball Field

[OldEagle]

Per Marc Keith, there will be no concession stand at the PNG Baseball field this year. If you wish to complain please call Cheryl Hernandez at the Adm Bldg at 722-4244 ext. 1717. I don't know anything about the Softball Field concessions.

I agree totally. This was part of the past bond issue and is an example of another thing we voted for and did not get. If you are this upset, please go vote in the upcoming school board election. There are some people running who would do the right thing.

WELL LET THE FACTS BE KNOWN INSTEAD OF KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS,IT IS EMBARRASSING WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY A DRINK AT A HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL GAME.

I don't know if this is the reason, but I know for a fact that the people that work the concession stands for the basketball games haven't gotten paid and one that has worked concession stands for YEARS quit because of it. It is a shame not to get paid as promised.

This is true...worked since november and haven't gotten paid (maybe they have by now but as of the end of the basketball season, there was no pay)

 

[Justafan]

What is there reasoning?

 

[allstarmom]

For whatever reason, the district started in November paying the concession workers (which most work as full-time employees within the district) as contract labor and paying them on a seperate check. What that means is they were considered self-employed and had to pay self-employment taxes. Add that to the fact that they didn't get paid for almost 6 months and you can understand why they were upset. However, MB must have heard all the complaints, because he said (I heard it from his mouth) that there would be concessions stands open starting tomorrow night and the workers would get paid on their regular check and taxes would be withheld.

You can bet Matt didn't have anything to do with this! We have active trustees who support contract labor in our school cafeterias and custodial services. I want PN and Groves citizens working in the school cafeterias and cleaning the schools. Sometimes it worth paying a little more to get the best and our students and schools deserve people who are committed to doing a bang-up job!

Matt did not have anything to do with it. As the outdoor complex coordinator, he is supposed to work with the concession stand director, BUT there is no concession stand director, so he is the one that is trying to fix the problem. The contract labor fiasco came from the administration building.

Point being, why start the ruckas, why not find someone to take care of the concession stand instead of just saying, "No concessions this season" - jeezzz.

That was the point I was making. Matt Burnett would never willingly agree to this. He and his family have a long history with PN and have a lot invested in the community and school district. It is embarrassing to the fans and parents that our facilities are being neglected. Not only the ball parks, but the school, grass, weeds, junk, etc.

MB had nothing to do with this, but he is in the process of getting everything straightened out...Concessions will be there soon
