Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but the N&R has pretty much ignored problems at Eastern Guilford High School, leaving the Rhino to report on parents’ efforts to address the issues, not to mention Guilford County Schools Chief of Staff Nora Carr’s efforts to muzzle the media.

Eastern parents have made three attempts to get GCS’ attention, and Carr wasn’t happy to see reporters show up. Carr was the master spinmeister when she and Superintendent Mo Green were down at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, but you still have to wonder she’s trying to hide.

Another problem is you’re getting different version of exactly what’s going on at Eastern. As the Rhino pointed out last week, Sheriff B.J. Barnes “has repeatedly accused Guilford County Schools of underreporting crime in the schools,”prompting the sheriff’s office to issue its own its own press release publicizing fights at Eastern.

Yet Eastern’s school resource officer —-Deputy Desi Williams —- backed up Regional Superintendent Monica Wallace when she said she saw nothing unusual when she spent two days there.

Remember failure to report crime was an issue that eventually cost Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools attorney Drew Davis his job.
