Parent tells board son denied football manager role, questions district priorities
Summary
Parent Gina Funderburg complained that Wink-Loving ISD refused to create a minimum-wage football manager position for her son and said the district buys items such as a jukebox for the alumni center while declining the role request.
During public comments, parent Gina Funderburg criticized the district for declining to create a paid football manager position for her son and contrasted that decision with purchases she described—specifically citing a new jukebox for the alumni center. She said remarks at graduation telling students they could 'just ask' for help rang hollow when her son’s request was denied and asked that staff not treat her son differently because of her comments.
Funderburg emphasized the request concerned paid work and said she was frustrated that the board seemed to prioritize other spending over the position. The board did not take immediate action during public comments; the minutes record the statement and the parent’s request without response or commitment to follow-up in the public record.
