When the school board meets to decide on whether to snuff Snowden, then we will see how many Cheeseman bootlickers are on that board

It really is not supposed to be like this, and this makes me real mad.

This looks like more resume building by Cheeseman for his next job, but this group clearly has no clue about anything. They don't even know that Beaufort County is in Northeastern North Carolina. They think we are in southeastern NC. They clearly also know nothing about Cheeseman. So Cheeseman got some of his buddies to write nice and untrue things about him and send it to this clueless group who clearly flunked geography among other things. Now he gets something else to put on his resume.

Mr. Pyle, you are absolutely correct. Frankie Waters, Chairman of the County Commissioners already proposed this in an article published in the Washington Daily News on April 10th this year. He was probably already contemplating this with, or without, the superintendent prior to this article appearing. However, I would posit that it was a joint effort on the part of both. Remember that Frankie was already working backroom deals to obtain the money to build the new consolidated school in Washington without the knowledge or the Board of Commissioners or the School Board. That money would have been better spent south of the river if consolidation for truly practical reasons is the ultimate goal beyond being a bullet point on a resume. Neither of these two are fiscally responsible or capable of competent long term planning or management. However, they are masters at, and more than happy to spend our county's taxpayer dollars on unnecessary projects for personal benefit while simultaneously violating the statutes that are supposed to protect us from this type of behavior.

Once the closings and consolidations are done, Cheeseman will be asking to build yet, ANOTHER school. This time he will want it strategically located between Chocowinity and Aurora, to help alleviate the fuel consumption PLUS, to reduce the students time spent on the bus. Prove me wrong.

RINO Hunter: Corruption is condoned often in many Beaufort County governing bodies through the contracting process, often by bids.
There is a point where governing bodies can take the higher bid, but they must have a viable reason when doing so, and reason must be publicly expressed at some point. That public can become a sticky wicket because: first, the reason not to use that vendor has to be expressed succinctly and correctly; two, most Beaufort County bureaucrats are very good at politics, but not very good at knowing real stuff, which is a limiting factor in discussing these issues in open session, especially when the low bidder knows far more than the bureaucrat, and is willing to stake their reputations on what they consider their truth. At the Beaufort County July general meeting, I will motion that all contracts bid be opened in open session, with all parties notified to be present should they desire to do so, and have the right to speak on that subject. This is just one small step to remove all vestiges of "waste, fraud and abuse" known to exist here in Beaufort County with the public's money.

Cheeseman's contracts should be investigated. He took both the grounds maintenance and the website contracts away from Beaufort County companies which were doing a good job and were low bidders and gave them to out of town companies for a higher amount. Both companies that were screwed were owned by Republican Party activists. Was this just political spite in costing taxpayers more money or did Cheeseman get something more our of it? Then there is his school construction contract for "Cheeseman Elementary". Were others allowed to bid on it? Why did he select a company with a reputation for cost overruns, and whose school construction in Beaufort County, South Carolina was investigated by the FBI? Sadly, a majority of the School Board acts like trained seals on Cheeseman's questionable contracts.

Great post on the inadequacy of governance on the Beaufort County School Board in what should be the proper administration of our public schools.
In this new age of an evolving School Choice plan for all North Carolina's tax payers, the Beaufort County Schools are on a poor course to provide leadership, fiscal and otherwise. Now, here is my word of advice to whatever nominal "Republicans" out of nine board members, who are rumored to be Republicans. If, as a school board member, you are a Republican, I would strenuously advise that you act like one. Politics can be a rough sporting play here in Beaufort County, NC, and it would behoove all Republicans, real and otherwise, to learn how to act as if their hearts and brains are wired well together, and are significantly in the right place going henceforward.

These education establishment elitists who gave Cheeseman an award are not even competent enough to look on a map to see that Beaufort County is in NORTHeastern North Carolina, NOT SOUTHeastern NC as they claim. They obviously did not do much looking into Cheeseman's record either.

This is just a circling of the wagons by the education elite, sensing their comrade Cheeseman is in trouble and wanting to give him some protection. What they are really giving him an award for is pushing the leftwing mantra of school consolidation. Calling Cheeseman, who is a total control freak, someone who "ensures voices are heard" is just laughable. His machinations on the Snowden closure move and total failure to follow state law on public hearings on the Washington consolidation make this statement of this group of Cheeseman's buddies a total lie.

Don't get lost in the BS. Despite all the self-aggrandizing on his personal relations campaign, the Cheeseman record speaks for itself. The people that live here will be left with the mess.

It is not hard to be taken in by the official sounding language of elitists. So educated, so smart, so clear that they think of themselves first, since they are so entitled to rule and reign and at the same time they dont do the job they were hired to do.
