Open Quote Simply terrible. The salaries in this county are very low, so the saying "You get what you pay for" applies here.

The county employs way too many out-of-touch administrators who have one thing in common: An extremely poor work ethic.

The school board is out of touch with reality.

And discrimination is alive and well here. Black lives do matter... somewhere else. Close Quote
