I beg you parents - please listen: You have got to be kidding me! The central offices at both NHC and Brunswick County Schools are so top heavy it is embarrasing! The Boards of Education use the need to cut teachers as a scare tactic for the parents so they will revolt and call their local county officials; however, all they need to cut are some of the many layers of coordinators, supervisors, directors, and asst. superintendents. With very few exceptions, there is no need for these positions. Most positions are just dumping grounds for ineffective school administrators the boards are too scared to dismiss. Also, has anyone asked about the travel? I would imagine that the local boards have not completely cut out all travel. The schools will not shut down if some teacher or central office coordinator cannot attend some math or science workshop. Before all of you parents get scared about bus schedules - know this - it is a scare tactic used by the schools - those teachers HAVE NO INTENTION - of allowing the administration to start school at those early hours!
