Karen Carson is conducting a meeting at 4:30 pm at the school district office in the Andrew Johnson building on Gay Street. This is unconscionable action that is spending our tax dollars and keeping our school employees and students at risk. Carson wants you to send your tax dollars and just sit over there, don’t tell her or them how to spend our dollars.
Carson said last night, “we need to quit feeding this in the media.” In other words, treat the public as mushrooms. Keep them in the dark and feed them a load of $+!?

Knox County School Board has a serious PR problem right now and they have fallen down on one of the easiest and basic issues of school safety. Insider deals, non-functioning equipment, systems of little or marginal value and Carson wants the community to know she has looked at the equipment and all is well. Unfortunately, nobody is believing Carson and nobody is believing these school board members who are out front stooging for McIntyre day in and day out. The community has finally realized that the school board, particularly Carson and Lynn Fugate, are part of the problem, not part of the solution and have turned their back on the families to put their students in the Knox County Public School System. Thus the impetus for the back door closed meeting to try and figure out how to calm the waters as its the bottom of the ninth, with two out, and here come the issues of partisan school board races and the preference for an elected school superintendant.
While ordinarilly these would be non starters in this community, given the outright baffoonery exhibited by Carson (who wouldn’t know conservative thought if she sat on it) and the school boards preference of beaurocracy and administration over parent and family input as to how our schools are operated, secured, and managed, literally anything could happen.
The best thing that could happen in Knox County would be to simply abolish the school board as they do nothing but inject politics and their own personal agendas into the operation of the school system.
LL2 is partly right.
But it’s a heckuva lot more than just a PR problem.
It’s the grand finale of what critics have been saying for years.
And it’s getting so bad, even the media that usually covers for them has to report it.
Carson AND kincannon’s political carrers are over when their next term ends.
But who knows, maybe they can get appointed by a Haslam or something.
