Sound Off: School Board Members Address Website, Accusations

Conflict between Bartow County Schools board members continued with Monday's business session, which followed the publication of a new website, bartowforabetterboe.com

BartowPolitics.com captured video of Vice Chairman and District 3 rep Angie Cornett responding to allegations she violated ethical standards in a recorded phone call and text messages, both published on the new website also addressed by Post 4 representative Wanda Cagle Gray.

A full-page ad in Sunday's The Daily Tribune News indicates bartowforabetterboe.com is funded by Taxpayers for an Ethical Bartow County, according to the newspaper, which has more from an Excel Christian Academy parent on the private school's use of county school facilities.

While Cornett said personal attacks on her family come before her position on the school board, Gray cited character and said the majority of the board is violating policy and ethical standards.

"Dr. Harper, this is not over and it's not going to be over until an investigation takes place, whether it be SACS, whether it be another outside agency," Gray said. "It's not over."
