School board drama alert! It seems the Augusta County School Board is experiencing some internal friction, and it's playing out in the public eye. The chairman and a district representative are locked in a disagreement, and it's heating up! This all stems from comments made, sparking a bit of a feud. But here's where it gets interesting...
At the heart of this conflict is a vote that took place at the August meeting. Specifically, on August 7th, the board members were tasked with voting on four administrators. Now, while most of the board was in agreement, things got a little complicated.
Tim Simmons, the Pastures District representative, chose to abstain from the vote. He wasn't alone; North River's Sharon Griffin and South River's Mike Lawson also abstained. This meant that the administrators were approved by a vote of 4-0, with the remaining members voting in favor. And this is the part most people miss... This disagreement over the administrators has become a public issue.
