CCSD: It's Only Money


Another lawsuit settled by CCSD takes one-quarter of a million dollars out of funding for schools. No wonder they proposed delaying the building of a middle school in North Charleston!

AND it's another case of associate superintendents run amuck.
See "Suit Costs School District $250,000" in Thursday's Newsless Courier.

One of the characters named has now cost the taxpayers of Charleston County a judgment last summer when sued by a teacher and now this settlement made with an ex-school librarian. We must wonder, if we add the costs (or even half of them) to his salary, would he be the most expensive employee of the district?

He apparently still works for CCSD. To quote Goodloe-Johnson [using the favorite weasel-word passive voice] "'Unfortunately, there were some poor decisions that were made.'"

BY WHOM, we ask?
