Lexington-Richland CFO Resigns

How many times do you have to point out the math problems in South Carolina???

Fortunately, many of the people that have supported the radical shift in D5 have realized that, well…they were wrong after all.

What else is going on in this district. I have heard there are two other District cabinet members, or principals, who are in trouble of losing their jobs. Why is this so quiet???
