LETTER: Superintendent Thurmond's Response to Get the Cell Out


On February 11, 2013, Get the Cell Out and Unhappy Taxpayer and Voter were united in DeKalb County to ask the DeKalb Board of Education to give the county something to believe in. If they were truly trying to move the district toward a new, better, transparent future then they should welcome the opportunity to make amends for past mistakes.

We presented a cell tower resolution, and welcomed the new Interim Superintendent to the district. We modeled the resolution after ones we have seen pass in other school districts in the United States.

We finally received the letter below from the Interim Superintendent which does little more than offer a form letter explanation that the number one priority is saving the accreditation, NOT looking out for the children. I suppose one could say that one is tied to the other, but as Nancy Jester (ousted board member) pointed out in the state hearing: some of us can think of more than one thing at the same time.

For more from out outspoken leader of the "Mad Mommy Brigade" see Nancy's site here.
