SCRG Rooting Out Irresponsible Spending by Schools
Neil Mellen with South Carolinians for Responsible Government has been writing about the lavish salaries and expenses of some of our school superintendents across South Carolina while the state legislature is in emergency session getting ready to slash education funding. Naturally, the threat being trumpeted by those opposed to this cost cutting is that there will be less teachers and programs. However, as I have said many times, there is plenty of waste to go around in our various school districts being spent not on the students, but on the administration. I recommend you take a gander over to this Web site and read about some of the expenses they’ve been uncovering.
Remember, if you don’t hold your school boards accountable this will not change.
