Are you ready to support another school bond?

Voters in these counties were. Looks like most of 'em passed easily, some overwhelmingly.

Todd McGee, the communications guy at the N.C. Association of County Commissioners, tells me not one county voted down a school bond Nov. 7.

Guilford's next school bond could arrive before voters next year. Amount TBD.

Support another school bond? In this county, with the current School Board and Administration?

Under the following conditions:

1. Grier and his top underlings all gone.
2. Kearns gone.
3. Childs gone.
4. Cooke gone.
5. Hayes gone.

Then a School Board that can demonstrate fiscal responsibility for a period of time.

The last thing anyone wants to hear is rebuilding a school at any cost. I'm sorry about what happened at Eastern Guilford, but these folks cannot be trusted with the public's money, they go through cash like a drunken sailor on leave.

Another school bond. Another bunch of cash thrown into the black hole of the education system.

Until North Carolina's voters realize what Senator Fred Smith has being saying for years, we can spend trillions of dollars and still end up with poor results. Sen. Smith has often said we need real school reform. But most politicos kowtow to the teachers union and so there is no real reform in government schools.
