CCSD's Intimidation and Corruption Nexus

Hit the little guy. Why? He doesn't have the resources to hit back.

Here we have a perfect description of the modus operandi of the Charleston County Schools District administration. Such is the case with the day porters who were outsourced to save the district money.

Well, the district does need to save money. Some of us would like to outsource administrative services, starting with the superintendent and continuing with the chief financial officer, Michael Bobby.

Of course, outsourcing the business to retired CCSD employees, cronies of the present administration who could make a buck or two off this mess, was part of the deal.

One employee reported by the P& C has questioned whether his last paycheck was correct. You may have wondered why the article also reports that "he doesn't feel comfortable meeting one-on-one" with Bobby.

Behind that statement is a superintendent who was enraged to learn that several day porters (presumably including 27-year-old Jess Ballard) were meeting with Bobby along with one or two members of the Charleston County Board of Trustees. She forbid the Board members from being there.

Now retaliation against those who have complained to Bobby has begun. Same old, same old in CCSD.

This is real. The long arm of McGinley saw to it that one of the day porters, though now an employee of a private company, was fired on Friday afternoon - right after the article appeared in the Post and Courier Friday morning. Nancy McGinley is a very mean and, quite possibly, very sick individual. Michael Bobby isn't any better.

Eight years ago? March, 2003? Huh?

Eight years ago this happened and yet this person was hired into the county right afterward.

They hire people with this poor history and fire hard working day porters!
