I agree with "localyokal" MSC bailed and gave up the charter, so none of these folks should even be involved in any business with consolidation. Take all the folks at MSC and have them re-apply for the jobs. From the top down. All employees should have annual performance reviews to keep thier jobs in the future. Make the pay same for all positions, pay health benefits and pay into the S/S system. Its like the garbage men they turned down S/S and now years later they want benefits and are playng the race card. Folks we are going broke, there is no more money to take from the taxpayers to pay for government help. It needs to stop, right now with OBUMMER'S debt, every man, woman and child owe at least $43,000.00 each. We need to pull all our troops home and quit bailing out these other countiresm and or causes. If a plan does not work in business you drop it and try something else. Its not like the governemt, they just print more money. Obama never spend all the first stimulus plan, watch him pull it out to help his re-election campaign. Two things to remember................ "God helps those who help themselves/the government helps the rest" "If you can't afford to feed them - Don't breed them"

WHY? Why would you consider appointing ANY of the current MSC board members to ANY other school board... be it consolidation or not? These people did NOT do the job they were hired to do as MSC board members and they all QUIT on YOUR CHILDREN! They are telling you they can't do the job they were hired to do. OK... we should be telling them to go find some job they CAN do... not simply moving them from one office to another!

Terry Roland is using common sense if they are waiting on the new census figures why draw up lines on the 2000 census and then turn around and have to do it all over again. They are wasting time and money. Why should they squander county money for redoing plans and hiring high paid lawyers for lawsuits that have not been filed. Wait to find out how all these things are going to be settled before you make any plans what to do from there. I am amazed at how dumb some of these supposedly smart people act.
