School Board Should Seat Logan
Dear Editor,
As a tax paying, contributing and involved resident of Summerfield, I am disheartened and frustrated with the Guilford County school board and Bill Goebel. Bill Goebel wasn’t elected by District 3 constituents nor nominated by the Republican Party to replace the vacant seat.
Michael Logan was nominated per policy to fill Pat Tillman’s seat. Because the Democrat led board didn’t like his policies, they opted to put their pick, Bill Goebel, in that seat. They (the board chair and attorney) schemed that plan in a secret meeting that Goebel attended. The NCGA passed a law on Aug. 17 of this year clearing up any loopholes or ambiguity that the rogue members may have used to justify their secrecy, strategy and plan. Yet, Goebel and the Democrats on the board still refuse to follow the law, decent etiquette and the communities wishes.
Michael Logan was and is a great person to represent District 3 on the school board. He served as an educator for 26 years, received accolades and rewards and was (and is) respected and liked by staff and students. Throughout this unfair process, he has maintained a positive and professional attitude. His willingness to still serve is a testament to his resolve and dedication to our schools and students.
The latest attempt by the board in seeking additional counsel for how to proceed is disgusting. The board is directly ignoring laws they don’t like and making a mockery of our general assembly. Perhaps it is time to either disband this derelict board or cut off their funding, effective immediately.
District 3 needs and deserves a representative who will fight for our children now. Stonewalling and obstructing is shameful! I ask that those doing that would put their agenda aside and for once think about and do what is best for our students.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed that the city buses now have covered the windows so we the public cannot see that there are no riders inside. What a waste of taxpayer money and waste of resources.
Yep. That’s been the case for years with the PART buses, Maurice. They’ve had blacked out windows from the beginning, so we can’t see that they drive around empty.
Ain’t they sneaky?
Completely agree. Yes the legislature has the authority to disband the Board according to Goebels attorney so let’s move forward and get rid of the these terrible role models who won’t do what’s right.
The school systen kind of looks like City council and Guilford County government. I wonder why? Seems they operate under the same “rules”.
Think it’s time to replace the Guilford County School Board with People that can use their Common Sense. Their like a bunch of cry babies. If they don’t get their way they will scheme to whatever it takes to get their way, not the way of the people of Guilford County.
Are they So Afraid that Michael Logan is going to see right through them and Question everything the do.
It’s time for a change.
But Democrats are not interested in doing what’s best for our students. They are interested in preserving their sinecures, power, and incomes. The kids are irrelevant.

For Leftists, national and local, the ends justify the means. So long as they get what they want, they will shred all regulations, laws, customs, decency, and mutual respect. Then they complain that “public service” has become so partisan…
Well said Austin
Thank you!
When I was a kid, my dad warned me to watch out for a Wachendorfer.
