Oh, sorry! That was the caption for the Onion story!
How about "McGinley Promises More Self-Satisfaction in 2016"?
To anyone familiar with shenanigans during Nancy McGinley's opaque reign as Superintendent of the Charleston County Schools, her periodic op-ed commentary has become its own joke. In fact, her words are almost impossible to satirize, given their ludicrous background.
This caveat in mind, I hesitated for twenty-four hours to read McGinley's latest public relations ploy that appeared in Friday's P&C. I'm glad I did because reading that in January and February she will invite the public to "public engagement" meetings to "finalize" her goals for 2016 would jeopardized my breakfast.
McGinley has already set her goals; the meetings will merely publicize what she already has determined behind closed doors. Really, the "Vision" of McGinley's remaining as superintendent until 2016 should be enough to put anyone off. By then she will have eliminated every neighborhood school in the district and achieved 90 percent of students being bussed the length of Charleston County. The budget for gasoline (a state secret) will pass the cost of teachers' salaries, and the cost of her two dozen associate superintendents will pass even the bus budget. Further, every school built prior to McGinley's arrival in Charleston will have been razed to the ground in the name of earthquakes.
How's that vision for 2016?

Over the river and through the woods, to NJM's house we go.
McGinley is so disconnected from the communities she is supposed to serve. She is totally out of touch with the reality of individual student needs and conditions. She still thinks the issues are tied to race, free lunch and zip codes. The biggest challenge facing her is CCSD's inflexible bureaucracy. A school district this large has great assets but is so disorganied that it can't respond well to the specific needs of unique communities and much less to the special needs of individual students. The district is too big. McGinley isn't up to the task. If zip codes are part of the challenge, then McGinley is herself too many zip codes removed.
