Parking Permits? Really?


Why would Richland Two go to the expense of issuing Parking Permits to school board members?

Is this Board Member Privilege? Why? Who made that decision?

Do they get special parking privileges on school grounds? Can they pull up at the curb and park in prohibited zones or firelanes? Can they park in handicap parking spots without getting $500 tickets? Can they park and block the chargers for electric vehicles? Can they pull into a Principal's parking spot and make him walk from the Back Forty?

Board members, uperintendents, principals, managers, etc., are no better than anyone else. When they arrive at work, they should get the next closest parking spot - not a special spot up close to the door, protected by a sign with their title on it. 

And they certainly should not be entitled to park illegally.

So, what's up with the Parking Permit?

Aren't they worried that some truant or kid they kicked out of school might vandalize their vehicles? Or maybe some "domestic terrorist" might damage their cars because of their opinions on mask mandates, Critical Race Theory or bullying tactics at board meetings?

I'd think they would want their vehicles to be as anonymous as possible.
