Why would any sane person believe numbers put forth by Hillery Douglas, Chairman of the CCSD School Board? [See A Question of $80.5 Million in Wednesday's P & C.] His goal is to strike fear into the hearts and minds of taxpayers in Charleston so that other board members and the public will shy away from creating more charter schools. Instead, he's struck loathing--of some members of the School Board and their toadies at 75 Calhoun.
But, Hillery, we think your proposal is an excellent one! We're so glad that you brought it up! If we make all CCSD schools into charters, we can get rid of you and all of your cohorts at 75 Calhoun and sell the Taj Majal.
Imagine how much money we could save! How much hot air we could avoid! How many residents of the district would put their children back into the schools.
Yes, it's a vision of loveliness! Go for it, Hillery!

If he'd like to put that in the form of a motion, and following CCSD's arcane rules, he'll need THREE seconds just to get it on the agenda. Of course, Dr. McGinley could then decide all by herself to delete the motion from the agenda before it could ever be officially considered by the nine elected board members. It's a nice thought anyway: 80 highly successful charter schools and no CCSD.
Isn't that what they're doing in New Orleans?
