Seriously, all this mystery–hope it will be worth it in the long run.
Why can’t they meet @ the Taj Mahal over on Graham Ave? No $$$ 4 substitutes but $$$ to use these hotels? I wonder how many times the Dept. of Public Instruction uses VCS asvan example of “what not to do”? I feel sorry for anyone who has kids in VCS. No wonder why the mass exodus to Charter Schools!!!! SMH!!!
I think anyone with a pulse can serve on the BofE in Vance County. I mean looj how long the tax deadbeat Cash has been on the Board! How can he vote on a budget when hevcan’t even pay his own taxes?
I’m guessing, for confidentiality reasons for their candidates, they are meeting at somewhere other than the BOE office. I hope they are not spending $$ to do that at Hampton or Baymont because there certainly are other sites to be used, at no cost ( library, VGCC , private business, etc.)
As far as Cash, ditto.
Mingo, the county government has been conducting closed door interviews with the candidates applying for the open manager positions.
The Board of Commissioners chamber is available for the hours and nights specified. Obviously the commissioners feel their chamber is sufficiently secured to conduct interviews and hold closed discussions. There is ample parking during the hours listed.
So why is the school board spending tax dollars for hotel meeting rooms, self aggrandizement?
The BOE actions defy logic–and lack concern for students and taxpayers . Toss them all out when election comes.
Won’t ever happen Prudence b/c of Vance County’s BLACK CAUCUS!!! If Vance County had a group calling themselves the WHITE CAUCUS you would have Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in Vance County rallying the “troops”. It’s way beyond time to get these nonproductive members off the governing bodies of any office. Whether it be City Council, County Commissioner, or Board of Education…..if they aren’t performing their SWORN OATH to do their JOBS(i.e.attend meetings) then get rid of them. When someone from the BLACK CAUCUS tries to shove you a slip of paper telling you who to vote for in the upcoming election just walk away and tell them you have your own ideas and don’t need to be told how to vote!!! That will work…….well unless you’re one of the ones who gets bussed to the polls on the Church Vans!!! Vance County is the least productive county in the 5-County area and the elected officials walk around with their chests poked out like they are superstars. They should be ashamed to even be seen in Public with the LACK OF PROGRESS……well unless it pads their pockets or one of their loved ones!!!
