Editor\u2019s Note<\/b><\/u><\/strong>: On August 26, 2023 Robert A published an article titled: Part 4: Final (?) Update on CCS \u201cLost\u201d School Bus Issues at KMMS.<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0That question mark in that title has turned out to be totally appropriate and Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0statements in that article that CCS\/KMMS seemed to have found a reliable driver for that \u201cLost\u201d School Bus #161 and hoped that the problems at KMMS were finally corrected has turned out to be entirely premature. And, the educational damage to the student(s) of concern in those articles have turned out to be irreparably damaged, probably for life.<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0And NOBODY<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0in charge at CCS\/KMMS will answer their telephones.<\/p>\n

Cleveland County Schools have just completed the first three weeks of their illegal school year. Note that it is not Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> who determined the CCS school year calendar illegally started three weeks early, but the Attorneys from the NC State School Board and the NC Department of Public Instruction: who have said so in a letter to CCS. A warning letter informed CCS that CCS and the CCS School Board were in \u201cLegal Peril<\/u>.\u201d Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has published that warning and notification letter in a previous article, so nobody can complain that when Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> calls the Robert Queen Rogues on the School Board and the TOP CCS Administration \u201ccrooks\u201d and \u201cliars\u201d\u00a0Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is 1,000% correct. Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> is also 1,000% correct about what he is about to tell the citizens, taxpayers, parents, and taxpayers of Cleveland County. So, PAY ATTENTION!!!<\/p>\n

Here it is, September 5th<\/sup>, 2023, and CCS Schools, Including the Kings Mountain Middle School have finished its third week of operation. Legal or not, CCS has FINISHED three weeks of operation in the 2023-2024 School Year. So, let\u2019s quickly summarize this past three week in the education of the KMMS student that Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0has been writing all these articles about.<\/p>\n

On the first <\/b><\/u><\/strong>day of school<\/u>, the KMMS student arrived at KMMS on time because his caregiver drove him to school that day. From the SECOND day of School through to to this past Thursday, almost ALL of the entire first three weeks of school, the student was late to school because the KMMS School Bus #161 was either late, didn\u2019t show up at all OR failed to stop to pick up this child as he stood on the side of the road. On each of these days the student was late to school (because of these bus problems) and missed his first class of the day (General Math) entirely and often the second class (Algebra 1) also. Along about the middle of that third week of school the student\u2019s math teacher called the Caregiver to inform her that the student was FAILING in his math class. Is it any wonder, that after missing almost ALL of his Math Classes for almost ALL of his first three weeks in school, that the student is failing in Math??? That the child was doomed from the start to fail in math because he was NOT in his Class because of a missing school bus.<\/p>\n

Also, folks, remember that this situation has been fully documented by calls every day from the student\u2019s caregiver, and also reported by Robert <\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>-in four separate articles\u00a0<\/b><\/u><\/strong>sent directly to ALL the School Board Members, CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher, the Cleveland County Commissioners, and others. Everybody knew or had to know about this situation. All of which never once responded back to Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> to any of my articles. This caused Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> to file a formal report on August 29, 2023 to the Cleveland County Director of the CC Department of Social Services, Rebecca Johnson, alleging Child Neglect on the part of Cleveland County Schools. This thoroughly detailed Formal Report once redacted to take out the name and address of the student, will be provided in an upcoming article to the public. Although this report was copied to ALL the School Board, Supt. Fisher, to ALL the CC Commissioners, Representative Kelly Hastings, Speaker of the House Tim Moore, State Senator Ted Alexander and ALL the DSS Advisory Board members that whom Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0had email addresses for. But, so far,\u00a0Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has received ZERO confirmation that THEY had received the Official Report of Child Neglect, although a record of receipt had been requested. Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> just figured that all Cleveland County citizens, voters, parents, and taxpayers ought to have knowledge of the fact that these uncaring people at CCS, Elected Officials and County employees noted previously have little to no time for the \u201clittle people\u201d and children in Cleveland County. They must be spending their precious time on things like collecting cash for their re-election campaigns, receptions and dates with other people\u2019s spouses.<\/p>\n

After hearing from the caretaker that she had been making calls to the CCS \u201cwheels\u201d every day as Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> had suggested, nobody (Stephen Fisher, Jennifer Wampler, etc.) would answer her telephone calls. So, Robert A,<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0personally, began making calls himself. After a few attempts to reach CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0found that there were some issues with locating a VALID telephone number for Supt. Fisher. So, Robert A<\/b><\/strong>, knowing that Telephone Numbers are public records, began submitting Public Records Requests to CCS, the Commissioners, and several \u201cPublic Records Request\u201d email addresses that Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> had collected over time. The first response was from the NC Department of Justice stating that they were not the custodians for CCS telephone numbers, However, the NC DOJ suggested contacting \u00a0CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher and gave his email address and 704-476-8055 his telephone number. \u201cEureka\u201d was Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0thought about that.<\/p>\n

Then NC State Representative Kelly Hasting sent a message with info to contact the State Board of Education. That will be on Robert A\u2019s<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTo Do List,\u201d but about other subject matters as a telephone number for Supt Fisher has finally been obtained.<\/p>\n

So, around the middle of last week, Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0called Supt. Fishers number (704-476-8055) and Kelly Bridges answered the phone. I asked for Supt. Fisher and Ms. Bridges transferred me to an answering service that identified itself only as Extension 8041. Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0left a message for Supt Fisher to please return the call to Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>, that was never returned. A little more surfing in the hidden quarters of the CCS Website and Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0located a directory of CCS Central Offices Telephone Numbers. \u201cEureka\u201d again.<\/p>\n

This list of CCS Central Office Telephone Extensions indicated that Supt. Fisher\u2019s Telephone extension 8055 was listed correctly, except that that very same extension 8055 was also listed as Kelly Bridges\u2019 Extension. So, it is always a \u201cfun and games\u201d runaround at the CCS Central Offices. Kelly Bridges always takes Fisher\u2019s calls and whether she passes them on to Fisher can always be and excuse for Fisher.<\/p>\n

But, for what others might consider a \u201cfun and games\u201d runaround, Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0considers it to be an investment in motivation. So, Robert A,<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong> about the middle of last week, decided that he would call Stephen Fisher, Jennifer Wampler (Who is over the CCS School Buses as well as HR), and the Principal at KMMS every-day to report the progress (or lack thereof) regarding the easily preventable problems of school buses NOT picking up students) as well as asking CCS about what they intend to do about making up for all the classes at KMMS that were missed by the student of concern. And perhaps a bus load of students until answers are given. And Promises are Kept.<\/p>\n

But, so far, Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has NO first-hand knowledge that CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher ever shows up for work at the CCS Central Offices except to show his face at School Board meetings to do the bidding of School Board Chairman Robert Queen. Or perhaps this is the other way around. Either way Robert A <\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>is personally convinced that once Robert Queen and his Waterboys Joel Shores, Rodney Fitch, Ron Humphries, Greg Taylor and Walter Scott Spurling are \u201cminimized\u201d to ZERO power level at CCS, the matter of \u201cfun and games\u201d and coverup artist Supt. Stephen Fisher will be no more.<\/p>\n

Folks, this article is a bit long and there is much more to be said. The problems and issues with this one student at KMMS are but a \u201cflash in the pan\u201d of today\u2019s time. There are over 20,000 adults that are on Food Stamps today in Cleveland County because each one of THEM was failed by Cleveland County Schools, just like this KMMS student of interest. Stay tuned as YOU ALL will be introduced to those other 20,000 and how THEY also put a large burden on Cleveland County Taxpayers and will continue to do so until us Cleveland County citizens, taxpayers, and voters do what must be done to \u201cfix\u201d the problems with CCS\u2019s \u201cEducation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay Tuned! Robert A<\/i><\/b><\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has a plan!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
