Artful Dodging on School of the Arts Vacancies

Who gave Principal James Reinhart of the Charleston County School District's School of the Arts the idea that he should recruit students from out of county? The district's own forced audit turned up nine miscreants. Reinhart (or should I say, McGinley) defends not filling those slots with county residents by pointing out that no remaining students are on the waiting lists for those particular "majors."

If there are any on waiting lists for other "majors," perhaps some idiot has misjudged how many slots are needed for each. Could that be possible, given that the number of vacant seats at SOA is actually quite a bit larger than those sitting empty at AMHS?

Can you say "Mismanagement McGinley"?

A board member has asked the administration for a list of names for the 15 out of county students. Word on the street is this isn't a complete list of non resident enrollees at SOA or AMHS. So far the administration isn't responding to the request and the press is taking CCSD at its word. Perhaps the board member is on to something.

Anyone know the name of the attorney for the Berkeley County student who is suing the Charleston school district over admission to AMHS? Maybe their attorney might want to compare lists to see if the district is telling the truth. My bet is the district and the superintendent is faking it all. The list of 15 is far from complete. If that can be proven, who pays?
