Letter: What must county's students be thinking?

If anyone believes the story that Superintendent Jeff Moss is spinning about hiring his wife, I have some great swampland in Florida I'll sell them. How gullible does he think we are?

What he did was inexcusable but, as a former member of the Beaufort County Board of Education, I am even more incensed with the current actions, or lack thereof, of most of the Board of Education. Except for two members who have spoken out against Mr. Moss' actions, the rest have totally abrogated their responsibility.

I would really like Mr. Moss and the nine members of the Board of Education who are either supporting him or saying nothing to answer one question -- "What message are you sending to all the students and teachers in Beaufort County School District about integrity, honesty and honor?"

It is a sad day for all of us!
