County Board of Education Fails Again!
The Harrison County Board of Education has NOT published the minutes from its meetings since the second week of January. Why not? Minutes prior to January of this year have been systematically published on their web site. Then it mysteriously stops. Ok, there is an election coming up. Is it to their advantage to keep the public in the dark? Ok, there has been an unpleasantness at some meetings recently where a non-Christian has pointed out the unconstituional actions of the Board by not enforcing the constitutionaly required behavior of subordinate government managers in reference to what religious articles they chose to display in a government school building.
The meeting minutes should have been published to fairly reflect what the argument, reasoning or complaint was in regard to that issue. It would have been informative for an interested public to not have to guess at the specific objection that was made. How much better focused the public discussion might have been if the minutes accurately captured the citizens concerns and we could better understand the position of the Board members.
If anyone knows the email addresses for these guys, how about asking them to start doing their job and keeping public records?

Why the minutes are not being posted in a timely manner.
I called Tuesday morn,the Secretary claims that the reason is that they are running behind and one secretary is off.
Thank you for your investigation. Interesting answer. I counted 14 secretary positions in the central office on their web site. The one who has been off sure must have been critical. Thank you for your comment. ...G
Well I will tell you the gal that answered the phone was a bit nervous like she may have been covering for someone. 14 Secretaries? Yeah we need to look at consolitdation for sure.
Keep us in the dark and feed us
BS,i feel like a mushroom.
