Perhaps the Superintendent of the Charleston County Schools District needs Miracle Ear? Or reading glasses? Or maybe she needs to be fired.
The town of Mt. Pleasant in 2008 in meetings with CCSD officials voiced its overwhelming support for a second high school to be built on the old Wando campus in Mt. Pleasant, a more centrally-located and accessible building.
You could look it up--even in the P&C!
Now the Superintendent wonders why community members haven't signed on instead to her middle-college at the new Wando, pushing traffic in the area beyond its limits. Doesn't it seem ridiculous that many students will be on the road for 40 minutes or more in a town the size of Mt. Pleasant? McGinley has pushed the promised second high school "down the road."
Board member Elizabeth Moffly correctly points out that North Charleston has four high schools with a total population that doesn't even begin to approach the 3,400 students already at Wando. And no one has evidence that bigger high schools are better for students; in fact, the opposite is true.
So, what gives, Nancy?

She should have been fired long ago, but North Charleston parents have no clout. It didn't seem to matter when she tried to run them over with her NCHS and Stall HS merger plan. Maybe if enough Mt. Pleasant parents see just how they have been manipulated they will do what the rest of us should have done a long time ago. Political clout counts but it counts more when the right people get ticked off.
Hopefully when they do she takes Mr. Lewis with her. He has been against North Charleston and for Mt. Pleasant since the district hired him. Just ask the cm firm his has working for him in Mt Pleasant.
