Circus time

Maybe the Guilford County Board of Commissioners (and even some on the School Board) will quit acting like a**holes and start behaving themselves. This, while more layoffs are looming. This does NO ONE any good. Can't anyone in this county see what this is doing to our children and to the morale of those teaching our children?

N&R:

Wednesday’s meeting also seemed to confirm communication problems between the commissioners and school board members.

One example: Commissioners chastised school board members and staff for not presenting what the commissioners wanted — a ranked list of projects that schools expect to tackle with county funds.

Instead, schools offered a list with about $20 million in needed projects in no particular order.

Commissioners said they had been asking for the information for months, but Wednesday’s meeting was only announced this week.

Another example: More than once, Commissioner Bruce Davis confused the name of school board member Kris Cooke with that of another school board member as tensions ran high in the meeting.

Commissioners also complained that the maintenance information they received was too late.

But schools Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green had a few parting words.

“We have been available for whenever this joint committee wanted to meet,” Green said. “This meeting could have been held weeks or months ago.”

To think these people are elected is insanity.
