5. Barbara Bass Romich: (Her representatives attended the TEA Party Forum. Scroll on back for that article.)
Barbara Bass Romich has been around in the education business. According to her Facebook page she is a former owner of a Sylvan Learning Center, studied at Gardner-Webb University, studied Developmental psychology at North Carolina State University, studied Marriage and Family Counseling/Child Development at Western Kentucky University and studied Psychology at East Carolina University.
Barbara Romich also worked at Cleveland Community College where she was let go in one of the infamous CCC purges. Some at CCC “whisper” she was let go because of some timesheet issues but others say that is fake news planted to cover-up what is now known to be a major scandal with the CCC Administration, not anything that is true regarding Barbara Romich. Of course this would give Romich a major insight on the School Board when it came time to appoint a CCC Board of Trustee member.
There are other “whispers” about some counseling service Romich was involved in. I cannot find anything regarding that other than the high probability of more fake news. When I hear fake news, it goes in one ear and out the other. I recommend that anyone hearing what appears to be fake news about Barbara Romich to do the same unless clear confirmation is provided and not some secret source from a cousin of a neighbor of Shannon Kennedy’s father’s former house painter or thereabouts.
Trusted confidential sources speak well regarding Barbara Romich and she appears to be one of the best Democrats in the School Board Democrat Primary Election.
One statement of concern regarding Barbara Romich that was found in the Dark Star article was that CCS should concentrate on what they are doing “right.” You never find problems that way. For continuous improvement you always look to find problems and correct them. Perhaps the Dark Star misquoted Barbara Romich on that
6. Dena King Green: :(Attended the TEA Party Forum. Scroll on back for that article.)
Dena Green has been in the education business too. According to her Facebook page she presently works at a photography firm but more importantly she worked at Cleveland County Schools. It is likely Dena Green knows where the skeletons in the closets are located and where the dirt is swept under the rugs at Cleveland County Schools. Very helpful attributes when the time for a “spring cleaning” is finally ordered by a “new” School Board.
Dena Green’s campaign website https://www.vote4dena.com/ (Click on “Menu” and “About”) exhibits plenty of other helpful attributes. Like her continued emphasis on doing what is in the best interest of the students. Like her commitment to full discussion of issues and good decision making processes that also includes considerations for cost control. Also considering the taxpayers in all financial decisions. What I liked best was Dena Green’s statement that “I want ‘Transparency’ to mean something moving forward.” Just think what the CCC Board of Trustees could get done with that kind of thinking. School Board too.
No scandals regarding Mrs. Green are apparent which would alter her standing on this list. Therefore, Dena King Green appears to be the absolute best Democrat Candidate in the Democrat Primary Election for the School Board.
Based on all the information provided above, we recommend single-shot voting for Dena Green and Barbara Romich as shown by the marked up sample ballot we have provided. You can vote for four, but we can only recommend the two, Dena Green and Barbara Romich, as shown below.
Remember the four Republican Candidates for the School Board, Danny Blanton, Robert Queen, Kevin Whisnant and Rodney Fitch do not have a primary election and will be on the November Ballot. Unaffiliated announced candidate Kathy Falls is still trying to gather up 500 valid signatures to have her name appear on the November ballot. But, she is out letting kids sign her petition. Whether or not she can get the required verified signatures to qualify to get her name on the ballot is questionable right now. We will let you know how the Falls lawsuit fiasco turns out.
Also remember that registered Unaffiliated voters may also vote in the Democrat Primary Election. I urge all Unaffiliated voters to vote in this Democrat Primary Election for two reasons. (1.) It is your legal right to do so, and (2.) Two of the worst Democrat Candidates can be eliminated in this Primary Election.
It is too bad that we can’t just eliminate the top four worst candidates on this list in this Primary Election. We will have to make sure the job gets done in the November 7th General Election.
