Charleston County School Board Should Vote on Increased Pay

Would you assume that a multi-million-dollar company run by "enthusiastic volunteers" would operate competently? Yet that's exactly what our system of a superintendent overseen by an elected school board assumes. No wonder we have problems.

Charleston County's school board is among the lowest paid in the entire state. How did that happen? It probably slipped by along with the re-segregation of most downtown schools. It's the rich members who don't want a raise. What does that tell you?

Remember the definition of insanity? Yes, it's time for a change. 

The SC legislature overrode McMaster's veto of allowing those board members to raise their own pay up to $9,600 per year. It's time for the board to vote.

Next November if you believe that those running for the school board aren't worth that amount of money, then vote them out.
