In regard to my last article regarding the December 14, 2020 School Board meeting being moved to the LeGrand Center and Starting at 5:00 pm, former school board candidate Junie Barrett made the following comment:
After working for the disappointment of a system mentioned (CCS) for 23 years (which throws its employees under the bus to cover-up its wrongdoings) and now working for a totally different school system (which has been refreshing); I see how a school system runs without the Good Ole Boys mentality. Cleveland County school board, you could learn a lot from your neighbors!
We concur with Junie Barrett. It would be wise for the new School Board majority to turn away from the corrupt “Good-Ole Boys” ways of the past and cast a wide net looking for better ways to run the CCS organization. Beginning with your neighbors. Pinnacle Classical Academy and neighboring school districts.
Editor’s Note: Junie Barrett was a Republican candidate running in the 2020 school board elections. We supported Junie in that Republican Primary election and we support her now. My understanding is that there were some dirty dealings in the Republican Primary 2020 Elections against Junie Barrett and Matthew Canipe. Not from the other Republican Candidates but from the Republican Party itself. When I find out the details, and I eventually will find out, I will share it with the public.
Also, folks. Do you remember several years ago when the female high school student at Burns High School was abandoned by her parents and became homeless? How people in the upper end of Cleveland County took in the homeless girl, found her a place to stay and a job at Burns High School? The girl worked for Junie Barrett. And when the girl graduated from Burns, she won a full-ride scholarship to Harvard University. And who drove the girl to Harvard and helped the girl get settled in at Harvard?? Junie Barrett. I don’t know about the rest of you folks, but when Junie Barrett speaks about doing what is right for the students at Cleveland County Schools, I listen. And, so should YOU.
