Give Grier his money, then ask him to leave
There may have been times when things were said about Terry Grier that were perhaps unwarranted. As a general rule, and especially in Terry's case, one has to judge a man by what he does rather than what he says or what is said about him.
In November, we saw Terry stand by idly as a school board facing myriad problems, many of them complicated by financial shortfalls, such as getting new schools built, supplies (such as paper) and manpower, etc., spend the better part of two school board meetings (one until 1 a.m.) not attending to these problems but debating and figuring out how they can pay a man who's making $210,000 a year another $7,000 a year. Then, when they did come up with a plan, the man said his "goals" may be unattainable.
Fellow citizens, the above says it all. We're getting flim-flammed. Everybody knows it.
One goal is attainable: Let's pay this man, and show him the door.

John,
You are right about the flim-flam man, but let's forget about the money and just show him the door. That is long overdue. Why has he been allowed to stay in Guilford County the longest of any location where he has been superintendent? What do all of those other parents in al of those other schools know that we don't?

Dast we suggest he take the school board with him?
