On November 6, 2018 Amelia McKie was re-elected to the Richland 2 School Board, and Teresa Homes was elected to the School Board.
What happened on November 9, 2018?
On November 9 the Richland County Elections Commission certified the November 6th School Board election.
What did this mean?
This meant that McKie and Holmes were "qualified" to serve on the School Board. But only "qualified". Not yet "eligible" to serve.
How were they to become "eligible"?
To become eligible, they would have to file Statements of Economic Interests with the South Carolina Ethics Commission. After doing so, they would then be "eligible" to take the oath of office.
BUT they did it backwards. They took the oath of office on November 13, and they didn't file their Statements of Economic Interests until December 4, 2018.
This meant that the oath of office, taken on November 13, had and has no legal force or effect. In other words, they did not become legal members of the School Board when they took the oath of office.
And because they have not taken the oath of office since December 4, 2018, they have NEVER become legal members of the Board.
What does that mean? Come back here on November 13, 2019.
