CCSD Tax Dollars at Work



Pictures the P&C couldn't bother to print.

Why, some old busybody who had nothing better to do snapped these pictures of perfectly good office furniture awaiting the garbage hauler! Shame on them! Where? Behind Wando High School, of course.


When notified, Diette Courrege quickly tipped off CCSD for damage repair. PR hack Elliot Smalley contacted Wando Principal Beckham, who "salvaged" a few useable items.


Whose head rolled for putting them out there? No one's, of course.


What percentage were really usable? Why do I think more than Beckham admitted. Her standards may be higher than a struggling nonprofit.


How would Beckham know they were useable or not? It's not part of her job. But CCSD does have a clear policy regarding trashing furniture. It wasn't followed. Are any schools following it?


Here's why the public doesn't trust the district when it says it needs more money.

I'm sure more than a few teachers at other Charleston County schools would have appreciated being given an opportunity to look over what Wando's principal decided she didn't want. That would include Charleston County's public charter schools. The way CCSD is failing to follow its own policies is becoming a sad joke.

Out with the trash. Is this where CCSD's overly abundant capital funds are going?

Word is that the administration is not happy about this...leaking out. Retaliation isn't far behind.
