December 19, 2013 Board Meeting: “No” to Mr. Strong’s Evaluation

As always, these are my opinions only, and not the opinions of the Pendleton County School Board or any other individual board members.

Pendleton School Superintendent Mr. Anthony Strong’s evaluation was voted on during this board meeting.  I voted “no”   because my voice was not heard as part of this process.  This is important since I represent 1/5 of our county.

I also voted “No” to leasing two new Ford trucks.  I know that we needed to replace one of the trucks in the maintenance department because it was unreliable.  However, I voted “no” mainly because I feel it would be more cost effective to purchase a 1 or 2 year-old truck instead of leasing two new ones.
