BOARD MEETINGS

Upcoming Meeting:

I wonder why the date wasn't changed on May 1st. The next meeting will be Tuesday, May 14.

Do you think it's a "Regularly Schedule Meeting"?

Any grammarians here?

The Voice on board's bond documents

You'll want to read slowly the entire article on this week's The Independent Voice of Blythewood & Fairfield County. Don't miss it. To go straight to it, click here.

Reporter Michael Smith dug further into the question and got quotes from two trustees on the Richland 2 school board. I can imagine he had some good questions for the superintendent, but Smith wrote "District Superintendent Dr. Baron Davis couldn’t be reached for comment."

Will the Board ever find out how, exactly, the fancy wording got added to the bond documents?

It's the Administration that brought the documents to the Board. It's the Administration that needs to be under the microscope. And the grilling should be in public, not hidden away in Executive Session and not swept under the rug.

Thank goodness that Mrs. Agostini had the insight and the integrity to examine carefully what she was being asked to sign.

There is much more to be written and said about this. And it will be.
