In the misleading leads department: "The academic failure of Edmund A. Burns Elementary in North Charleston has persisted for so long that Charleston County school leaders plan to fundamentally change the school this fall." [See Burns Elementary to Be Reconstituted This Fall in Monday's on-line edition.]
Call rewrite!
What the lead should say: "The academic failure of Edmund A. Burns Elementary in North Charleston has persisted for so long that guidelines under No Child Left Behind have forced Charleston County school leaders to fundamentally change the school this fall."
So far, changes that Superintendent McGinley has seen as the most effective include assigning four different principals during the past five years.
Well, that should have done it.

Sounds like the 6 principals in seven years they recorded at Burke High School in 2006. McGinley was part of the decision to appoint and then replace 3 of them even though she arrived on the scene as the chief academic officer only 2 years earlier.
So how much progress has CCSD made at Burke since then? If it wasn't for the way they (CCSD, educrats at the College of Charleston and McGinley) continue to mislead and rob the students at Burke and the community around it, all this might have been a very funny joke. Instead it's a crime.
