Superintendent controversies in Charleston and Savannah school districts.
The Charleston County School District Superintendent, Don Kennedy, has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a board member, Keith Grybowski, accusing him of writing defamatory and slanderous social media posts. Kennedy claims that Grybowski's demands have made his job and staff's job particularly difficult. The board voted to delay the approval of the district's $650+ million budget citing a need for more transparency. Kennedy accuses Grybowski of refusing to meet with the finance department staff to better understand the budget. Kennedy finishes his letter by rejecting Grybowski's suggestion that CCSD's education is inadequately preparing students.
