It's a Numbers Game

As reported in the Post and Courier this morning, CCSD will pay the company who runs Murray Hill Academy $3.2 million dollars this year. The school's enrollment will also drop from 432 to 324 next year. The new building where Murray Hill Academy is located has cost the district $9.1 million dollars. Do the math. Are you angry yet? Well, if not, how about this fact? They have teachers who DON'T have state certifications and for most of the year have had NO mental health counseling. What are they doing over there? I've heard parents and students from our city say it's nothing better than a jail. Why are we treating our children like inmates? How many of our Charleston kids have been shuffled to this joke of a program without due process and without receiving the promised counseling they so desperately need?
It's a numbers game for CCSD. All this program has done is use our children to make Goodloe-Johnson's resume appear as if CCSD has lowered its expulsion rate. Will Dr. McGinley fess up and call it like it is?
