At (1:48:25) Larry Smalls lays it out to the board. Be sure to listen to his brief, forceful remarks on livestream.com/richland2 at the October 12, 2021 meeting.
Funny how he got away with referring to the superintendent several times, and never once did Holmes smack him down or rap her gavel. Can someone explain that to me?
Larry Smalls would be a great board member and a great Chair of the board. He would lead by example and demonstrate Leadership Skills, because he knows what they are.
I don't have any reason to think that Larry is about to run for the board. After all, who would want to put up with "The Four" who hold the present majority?
But wait! Times are changing. Those "Four" all up for(Hear her drivel during the Board and Superintendent Comments. Manning has been on the board since 2010; it's way past time for him to go.
And, since Holmes and McKie, aren't even legitimate board members, they can't run for "re-election". That won't keep them off the ballot. Not even still owing $57,100 to the South Carolina Ethics Commission is likely to keep McKie from running again.
A few video clips of Holmes' running rough-shod over other board members might be enough to sharply reduce her odds of being elected again.
Larry wound up with "Responsibility without Accountability leads to Autonomy." He mentioned earlier than the board abdicated its responsibility (to the superintendent).
Thank you, Larry!
I recall a bond document in 2019 where the board did just that. On the 10th page of boilerplate, right at the end, the board gave the superintendent full authority over the bond issue. My guess is that most board members were tired and bleary-eyed by the time they got to Page 10, and they didn't even realize what they were signing (or didn't care).
