GCS Supt. Mo Green told a stunned school board last night not to give him any more money. He rejected any discussion of a pay raise, noting "the troubled economy would make his raise a hardship for the schools system," according to today's News & Record.N&R:
“I don’t believe I should be eligible for that given this point,” Green said.
The school board unanimously approved his request.
Green got thank yous from several board members, including Darlene Garrett who voted for another candidate for the superintendent position last year.
“I obviously voted for the wrong person,” Garrett said.
Speechless...is the reaction I have. For too long, GCS has had to deal with the status quo. But even though Green is still earning my trust (and has a little ways to go), he's making a good deal of strides in the right direction.
This is a move in the right direction.
E.C. :)

Mo just earned himself a little mo respect. Good move. Whether it was sincere or not doesn't matter, it just saved us mo money.
Please, please, please... let this inspire other administrations nationwide to pass on raises this year.
Great PR move, if nothing else, and sends a message.
