- Nelson Rivers III, field director and Burke High School graduate, showed up to prove that he doesn't know what's happening in District 20 these days.
- Academic Magnet parents showed up to protest the potential deflation of the Magnet's effectiveness when combined with the School of the Arts.
- Toya Green's absence (is there some reason she couldn't have voted by phone also?) guaranteed that the proposed budget for next year would not be passed.
- The Board refused to renew the charter for James Island High School.
- Hillery Douglas pretended he didn't know that, as chairman, he needed to sign the Board's approval (from its April meeting) for CSMS to use the Rivers campus.

More Nonsense from the NAACP and CCSD
Monday's CCSD Board meeting was a classic--a classic satire on school board meetings.

Who's keeping track of these fools? They are a law unto themselves. This is still an organization controled by the B-Team and the results of their leadership is dismal. Though I know they would like to put the blame on Ravenel, they can't it's still their show and it's bombed. What makes Ravenel so much a pain to them is despite their ability to shut down unwanted motions from Engelman and Tolar, Ravenel can still out manuver them on certain things. It still looks arrogant as hell when Douglas ignores or rules out of order a valid motion to move forward with the James Island charter renewal. But as is being pointed out by others, including Ravenel, there is more than one way to skin this cat.
I agree with Nelson Rivers...at least this much. He says we should vote out the people responsible for the failure of our schools. That means vote out the majority who have continued to extend this mess. Hillery Douglas, Toya Green, Ruth Jordan and Gregg Meyers would be on this list. At least two of those seats will be up this November.
I think I'll just pretend I don't live here for awhile.
The very first one that needs to go is Mr. Composure himself Gregg Meyers. He is playing this game of Let's you and them fight. He starts the argument and then backs out. He needs to get a back bone
