40% of these top stories are related to either the poor decisions or poor leadership by the DoCo School Board. With so much public outcry about the corruption of this School Board and Administration, it is disgusting that our so called leaders are not taking action to solve these issues. Our community has been tarnished enough, and it is time to make some drastic changes. Murfree should have never been hired, and now he should be fired for his failed performance. Several on the School Board need to be replaced (such as Riggins and Anita Williams Brown in the upcoming election, and June Bug Griffin just needs to resign for a general lack of interest in whatever ramblings he has to say).
