Musical Chairs on the Board

No surprise at tonight's election of board officers for the 2022-2023 School Year.

Manning was elected Chair.
McKie was elected Vice-Chair.
Holmes was elected Secretary.

So the Board continues to have two officers who aren't even legal board members.

I hope the State Inspector General will have fun with this.

The Chair and the Secretary could change in November, if Richland 2 decides to begin complying with State law. South Carolina Code of Laws Section 59-19-70 will probably be new information to Richland 2, just as finding out when the term of a school board member actually began, which Richland 2 learned in 2020.

SECTION 59-19-70. Chairman and clerk of board.

The trustees shall, as soon as practicable after the appointment of any new trustee, organize by the election of one of their members as chairman and another as clerk of the board. The chairman shall preside at meetings of the board and perform other duties imposed on him under the law, and the clerk shall keep a record of the proceedings of all meetings in a book provided for that purpose and perform all other duties required of him by law.

Trustees Agostini, Scott and McFadden were wise just to sit out the election. Their votes weren't going to count, anyway.
