Board and District Administration Equally Responsible

The following, copied email, was sent on Friday, November 8, 2013:
 
 
Socastee Family, Dr. Elsberry, Members of the Board of Education, and Selected Media,

 
The Horry County Board of Education’s unanimous vote in support of Horry County Schools’ Race to the Top – District grant application (FY2013) means that it supports what is in the application and appendices. 

If there are seriously misleading statements in the application narrative (B4) and insufficient evidence provided in Appendix B4 for meaningful stakeholder engagement in the development of and support for the proposal, and Horry County Schools did NOT do what it claims in the narrative, then the board is equally responsible as the district administration in applying for a federal grant, taxpayer money, in this case roughly $2.5 million.
