The count will take place during a public meeting on April 17 at 8:30 a.m. at the Mentholee Norfleet Municipal Building in Newberry.
This has no chance.
If it fails you can Certainly put that on the ACSB and Certainly on pending ACSB issues and complaints. They do not want a Community trying to get better education and showing just how inept the ACSB leaders and Agenda are. They again have the Governor’s attention. Time for Justice not Wokeness.
I hope Newberry schools secede. It will bankrupt Newberry trying to pay for it. Fools they are, fools that deserve to be left alone in their own self congratulatory circle jerk. I feel sorry for the children who will receive a substandard education. They will all graduate as clueless as Mayor Marlowe.
