  Don’t waste your time if you’re not asked by a board member to tender your application. This is a matter of serious politics – whoever takes this seat puts one side or the other in the majority. So board members will be asking ‘friends’ to apply. If a supporter of the chair and vice chair wins the seat, then, perhaps, we’ll have a school board, for the first time in decades, which actually cares about education.

    All one has to do is look at CMC as it is “in reality”. That is all one needs to know about those who have run it for 30 years.

  Well, if I were visiting my Dad that wekened (he lives in Fort Mill), I’d definitely run this, but I’m not. So, instead I’ll ask how in the world you manage to look so cute running?! I always look like I’m close to death!
