Letter to editor: We need answers from our school officials
Reader: We need answers from our school officials
Atta boy, Trib. Good work, Keep the school board/district’s feet to the fire. Beaufort pays more for each student than any other county in the state, has for a long while, but yet we still have some of the poorest score results in the state. Makes you wonder, where is all of our money going?
Could it be that we need a drastic change in the way our schools are run? Could it be that we need some accountability, other than rhetoric, from our school officials?
Could someone explain to the taxpayers just why we pay so much and get so little when others get so much better results?
Why is it that, over the years, Beaufort schools have produced such outstanding results– Henry Chambers, Larry Rowland, Pat Conroy, Sheriff Ed McTeer and numerous others–but now our schools are the laughing stock or pity of the rest of the state?
We need some answers from our school officials, and we need them before we lose a whole generation of our youth.
