So let’s recap: The Guilford County School system has used tax payers’ dollars (Public funds) to endorse the ¼ cent sales tax increase. NCGS 115C-46.1. Limitation on the use of public funds. A local board of education shall not use public funds to endorse or oppose a referendum, election or a particular candidate for elective office. (2010-114, s. 1.5(c).) ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/Statutes/StatutesTOC.pl?Chapter=0115C So We know they have done the following: 1. School employees have been told they MUST put out flyers in support of the referendum. 2. Used the GCSS printing shop to print flyers home with students. (See High Point Enterprise article of Oct.11, 2014) these flyer extoled the benefits of the sales tax to the schools 3. School newsletters endorsing the ¼ cent sales tax 4. Production of videos, websites by the GCSS endorsing the ¼ cent sales tax 5. Robocalls using Schools system resources endorsing the ¼ cent sales tax 6. Public announcements at High School athletic events endorsing the ¼ cent sales tax. 7. Emails to affiliated groups (Boy Scouts, etc.) asking them to promote and share flyers with their members. These are only the items I have absolute proof of. We have asked for more information from the GCSS but as of yet it is not forth coming I thought I would post this for your information as I am sure you will never read it in the Greensboro News and Record or hear it on WFMY-TV… Can you honestly say with a straight face that they are not endorsing this referendum? The act of telling people to vote in the referendum is in of itself an endorsement. Do you want the schools to continue teaching your children it is ok to present only one side of an argument? Using your tax dollars?
