The Importance of Being Present | Eastern North Carolina Now
Please attend the public meetings and speak out against closing the Snowden school in Aurora.
The Importance of Being Present
Recent elections have shown us that one or two votes can swing an election. The same thing is true about showing up to protest the S. W. Snowden School closing in Aurora.
There is a “Community Forum” scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 at 6:00 PM at the Chocowinity Primary School. Public opinion is best shown by having a large crowd present with a lot of speakers. Strike a blow for better education by showing up and speaking.
There is a Special Called Board of Education Meeting for Thursday, May 1 at 6:00 PM at S. W. Snowden School in Aurora. Again, the more people who show up and speak the better. This meeting is important because it is the meeting required to be held by law. This is the meeting that public complaints will be entered into the record. Attend this meeting to stop the evils of school consolidation.

It appears the Special Called Board of Education Meeting for Thursday, May 1 at 6:00 PM at S.W. Snowden School in Aurora has been cancelled for now. If and when it is rescheduled it will probably be on short notice. People need to continue paying attention.

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.

To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
