Also, the Personnel Report itself is a cover-up.
Some time ago, we noticed on the Personnel Report that several teachers, one is still in prison right now, had gotten caught having sex with students and were forced to resign. (Note that this scenario is important to the next example coming up in this article.) When the Superintendent can get a teacher or staff member caught red handed with a criminal act to resign, that is considered “taken care of” by the CCS Board majority. But us using this particular finding to identify others who had been caught and resigned by noticing irregularities in the Personnel Report caused the Board majority and Superintendent to get the School Board’s attorney to come up with the excuse that the Personnel Report is not official until it is approved by the School Board. Therefore the School Board had to “approve it before they could read it.” Didn’t we learn anything about the Democrat approved ObamaCare? They had to approve it before they read it. What a mess ObamaCare turned out to be and what a mess the CCS Personnel Report is. Board Member Danny Blanton usually just votes NO on such a mess as this.
The next example is even better.
Communities In Schools, a suspicious group of propaganda mongers that took over from the failed and Criminal Youth Assistance Program (YAY), comes up on the agenda wanting more money for their next year’s big dollar contract. Former CIS employee and School Board Member Donnie Thurman, Jr. as well as the CIS Executive Director are conspicuously absent from this school board meeting. (CIS seems to always want taxpayer’s money but never seems to be able to show what they do to deserve the funding they are asking for. It’s the same thing this time too.) Astonishingly though, a CCS person presents the CIS contract request to the School Board for approval. The CIS Executive Director should have presented the request and answered any questions from the Board.
It soon became apparent why nobody from the CIS administration was there to answer questions. Board member Danny Blanton had gotten wind of some major problems at CIS and was likely going to ask questions that CIS didn’t want to have to answer..
But, before we get into Board Member Danny Blanton’s question, we are going to look a little deeper into all of this CIS stuff and do some common sense thinking. For a big reason that Danny Blanton is about to bring up. The big cover-up at CIS as well as what they were trying to cover up.
First of all folks, the very fact that the Cleveland County School Board thinks they need something like Communities In Schools that they fund using taxpayer dollars without any real control, no real measures of success (aside from spending all the taxdollars they are given) and no transparency presents a perfect example of the failures of CCS to properly teach our children in the very first place. And then you go downhill from there. All this became perfectly clear when the Communities In Schools came to the August 28, 2017 School Board meeting with their hands out for hundreds of thousands of taxdollars for the upcoming year, offering no good reasons, without any justification for those reasons, or why CIC even exists.
