I as a resident of Brunswick County have an issue with the school board. Recently they sent out a phone message asking parents to give their opinion about this staggered bell plan. It was my understanding that most responded that they were not in favor of the plan as it was. Many said if they would change the elementary to the later start they would be okay with it. However, the board that we have here went ahead and as we have seen many times in the past voted in the complete opposite direction. I have friends who work for the school system and they say that often this happens were the board ask about how they feel on an issue and that the board ends up going against they message that they are sending. Seems there is alot of I help you you help me going on at the school board and not the best interest of the students.
