Augusta, GA
An elementary school principal was escorted out of the Richmond County Board of Education committee meeting Tuesday by two school safety officers after yelling that board members ignored his concerns about mold and asbestos in his building.
Hartley Gibbons, the principal at Terrace Manor Elementary School,
interrupted a discussion about the priority list of construction
projects being funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
When his school showed up as number 46 of 63 schools on the list, Gibbons jumped from his seat and lunged at the microphone.
Board President Alex Howard banged his gavel and board member Jimmy Atkins told Gibbons he was out of order, but the principal continued.
“I want to let it be known that Terrace Manor is a 49-year-old building!” Gibbons yelled as School Safety and Security Chief Patrick Clayton guided him out of the building. “We got mold, asbestos, and we’re number 40-something on the list. We got zero dollars!”
