CCSD Superintendent's Hubris Is Showing

It's snowing down south. That's what girls said to each other when a slip was showing below a girl's skirt, back in the dark ages when girls wore slips.

Charleston County Schools Superintendent Nancy McGinley's slip, or to put it another way, her hubris, is showing. Such is the conclusion to be reached by her latest power grab in CCSD. While everyone else pays attention to Yes4Schools and potential new board members, McGinley quietly has asserted that she has the power to reschedule School Board meetings to suit her fancy.

What ever happened to the idea that the Superintendent serves the Board and not vice-versa? Does this mean that she now has the power to change meetings whenever she pleases? Will the Board change meeting dates to suit Board members' schedules in the future?

We're headed down a slippery slope. The Board needs to reassert itself and do its job as previously scheduled.

The new board isn't going along with her attempt to change their scheduled meeting after all. (She lost that one.) Now the super is putting her contract extention and a salary increase on the table. Hope the new board shoots that one down, too. If they don't, she's hooked them.
