Keep in mind that McKie has been on the school board since 2014. She has served as an officer of the board several times, and sometimes illegitimately. Like now.
She went to the South Carolina School Boards Association's annual convention on Hilton Head Island. It was held February 17-20.
What did she learn? That there are three levels of authority that Richland 2 is governed by.
1. S.C. law;
2. Board Policy;
3. Robert's Rules of Order.
Well!!! Wonder of all wonders! The mysteries of the Universe are revealed. How much of her $7,000 annual board expense money did it cost us for her to learn that?
Seriously? She spoke on February 22nd like that was something new. There is absolutely nothing new about that.
That's how it always has been. That's how it is. That's how it will be.
The problem at Richland 2 is that the school board doesn't recognize it.
If it did, it would not tolerate two women on the board who have never taken the oath-of-office legally.
If it did, it would not tolerate a woman on the board who owes $57,100 to the S.C. Ethics Commission and who hasn't made any significant payments since a judgment was filed on July 10, 2019, in the Richland County Common Pleas Court.
If it did, it would not have tolerated a woman to continue serving as Board Chair between November 2018 and June 30, 2019, when she was no longer a legitimate member of the board (because she had not taken the oath-of-office legally).
And the board would not have elected her to serve as Secretary during the 2021-2022 school year, because only a legitimate board member can serve as an officer.
As Secretary, she should object when Minutes are inaccurate. Does she? Ever? Does she read the Minutes before a meeting? Does she read them critically? Shouldn't she be looking for errors and omissions? Shouldn't she be the first to make a motion to amend the Minutes and correct errors and omissions?
