A sloppy presentation from Michael Bobby, CCSD's chief financial officer, will push through a faulty use of part of the Memminger School property at Monday's Board of Trustees meeting. Somehow the College of Charleston was given an exclusive right to bid for the property in a secret process.
Outrageous, really:
- failing to make the sale public by offering it on the district's website;
- failing to have a current appraisal; and
- not clearly defining what is being sold.
The current redevelopment plan for the new Memminger Elementary reduces the outdoor play area to about 40 percent of its original size.
Who decided that? The area never was extensive; as a former student at Memminger, I know!
Surely the Harleston neighborhood and the adjoining school would benefit more from an open space or a park rather than another student dorm!
Five Board members are guaranteed to rubber stamp this outrage. Remember them next election.
