Board Of Education Does It Again

Board of Education's Second Public Budget Hearing 5:30 Tonight at Wicomico High School Auditorium

The Wicomico County Board of Education's second public budget hearing for the fiscal 2013-14 budget will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, May 20, in the Wicomico High School Auditorium. Parents, students, community members and Board staff are invited to come with comments. Public input is critically important in the budget process for Wicomico County Public Schools. For information please call 410-677-4561.

Publishers Notes: While we scanned their Website at least two times yesterday, this didn't get posted until late and clearly when they state that the meeting was "Tonight" they did NOT give the public the opportunity to get involved.

Here's my problem with this. You all know they knew this meeting was going to take place WEEKS in advance, yet they purposely delay any announcement to assure you will not get the opportunity to get involved. More than 50% of your tax dollars in Wicomico County go to the Board of Education and this is a slap in your face on a regular basis. 

They have a PIO person who is PAID quite handsomely to inform the public and that person is not doing their job.

They don't want us to know, that's why they do this.

Our school informed parents via weekly telephone message. They do every time there's a meeting.

I've given up on this issue. I don't waste my time going to those meetings. Either pay the taxes and shut up or leave the area is what the defacto message is.

There is a open board meeting for the Wicomico County Humane Society tonight too. Anyone see that published any where. NO because they don't want anyone to come

Report them as being in violation of the Maryland Open Meetings law.

You are right. It was mentioned in the HS newsletter but not included in the calendar at the front of the newsletter. It is also not on their website.
