BJ Murphy: LCPS Chairman Bruce Hill Admonishes Parents for Contacting Him

At the September 13th Lenoir County Public Schools board meeting, Chairman Bruce Hill admonished the public on when it’s appropriate to contact a school board member. He cited a chain of command, the need to go straight to the source, and emphasized the school board’s primary goal is to be policymakers. However, Mr. Hill seemingly chastises parents, guardians, and stakeholders for attempting in any type of way to hold school board members accountable. In an eye-opening statement, Mr. Hill says about the school board, “[we] aren’t as versed in education” and “we as board members we don’t know what goes on at the schools.”

60 percent of students coming back to school under LCPS hybrid option

About 60 percent of Lenoir County Public School students plan to return to the classroom Monday when the district activates its hybrid learning option and about 40 percent plan to continue with fully remote learning, according to preliminary data from the district’s Family Choice survey completed last week. The survey also shows that, of those students heading back to the classroom, about 20 percent fewer will ride school buses to and from school than in a year not clouded by concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
