The siting of a new Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) in North Charleston has become a hot potato. Rumblings from dissatisfied community members have caused the Charleston County School District to postpone a decision for more than half a year.
Today's meeting at Garrett Academy purposes a unified recommendation to the whole Board of Trustees tomorrow. Hollinshead, Coats, and Collins must be thrilled to take on this responsibility. Remember their names next election.
Too many residents of North Charleston and proponents of Garrett Academy believe that CCSD's goal is to close Garrett within the next two or three years. Not surprisingly, plans for the CAS located at another location pose a serious threat to Garrett's existence. Too often CCSD has acted sub rosa against the wishes of the communities most affected by its decisions.
Now it appears that the full Board meeting called to receive the recommendation of the committee is also sub rosa. Notice of this special meeting, called for 5 pm at 75 Calhoun Street Thursday cannot be found on the district's website.
By law, meetings of the Board are open to the public.
Of course, the public must know a meeting is being held.
Hmm.
