Steve Dozier, the new superintendent of Webster Parish schools, spoke to members of the Minden Lions Club last week about his plans for the betterment of the local education system.

Dozier, who has been on the job for just a few days, spoke on a variety of issues currently facing the school system. However, the hot topic of conversation centered on teacher tenure and performance.

Numerous Lions Club members asked Dozier about problems with so-called lazy and unmotivated teachers – teachers who were tenured and “mailing it in” as one club member described.
