We have no difficulty understanding why a referendum has been organized to put the community on record as supporting the smaller outcome.
Problem is, the Sullivan's Island town council has signed off on the larger school, having been bamboozled by McGinley and Bill Lewis. Furthermore, the hoodwinked voters in the last election validated the McGinley-Lewis plans for a larger school (and no second high school in Mt. Pleasant) despite community opposition.
You see, you've been had. Even if the parents and staff of Sullivan's Island Elementary decide at this point to take the school the charter route, you're going to end up with the monster building.
What to do? Can you remember this debacle long enough to vote out the town council members who approved the plan? Will your memories stretch long enough to throw out the CCSD Board of Trustees members who jump as high as McGinley and Lewis ask?
History says you won't, and McGinley and Lewis are counting on your faulty memories.
Prove them wrong.

The truth hurts. The question remains can we learn from our mistakes? I hope so.
The Sullivan's Island group has finally received a copy of the petition that Nancy McGinley claims 1,000 residents signed in support of the administration's plan to build a $27 million over-sized new school on the dune line.
It seems the petition is a fake.
The superintendent has lied again.
So what else is new?
$500 million project...now. This design appears to be a corrupt piece of history in the making, at best...and a complete abortion of seashore, conservation, eco-friendly, hurricane safety and aesthetics, all together.
ya know what comes to mind in this case? the irony of educating children.
