High Point Enterprise coverage of the Guilford County Board of Education’s unanimous vote to restructure Oak Hill Elementary has an interesting exchange between board member Garth Hebert and Superintendent Mo Green:
The plan will open the way for the district to apply for a federal assistance grant of as much as $6 million. Hebert worried that Green’s staff could be “chasing the dollar” to find a remedy.
“We do not chase the money,” Green said. “We should be at a point where this is the best thing to do. There is a high probability that we would have made the same recommendation without the grant.”
I personally find that hard to believe, although admittedly there’s no guarantee the district will get the money.
