CCSD Board: Trust, Not Verify

Monday night the Charleston County Board of Trustees voted on an evaluation instrument for Superintendent Nancy McGinley. The Board members did not receive a final copy of the evaluation form on which to vote. Shame on you, Chris Fraser. You've had nearly two months to straighten this out.

Yet the effervescent form claims to be virtually identical to last year's instrument, the one designed by McGinley for herself! You can't make this stuff up.

The way the evaluation works statistically, it is virtually impossible for the superintendent to get a failing grade. Wow. Sounds like some of our students' social promotions.

All this drama precurses another salary increase and contract extension for McGinley. Considering the economy and her performance as judged by the community at large, let's hope she can't cow the present Board into either.

Show me a teacher that gets to draw up their own evaluation form. Of course, Nancy McGinley wants to stack the deck in her favor. Chris Fraser is only too happy to comply.

No wonder so many commercial real estate deals are going belly up. People in positions of trust were only too happy to comply when they were first evaluated. The superintendent's performance is no better than a bad real estate deal. The chairman of the school board should know that.
