The Martin County School District motto is “Where Learning Has No Boundaries.” Given the war between the school board and superintendent, it’s also a place where pettiness and intrigue have no boundaries.

Fortunately, the district is small and affluent, blessed with parents who send their children to school well-equipped to learn. If the A-rated district were judged on civility and cohesion, it would be lucky to eke out a D. It’s a school district where:

School board members want the superintendent to shut up during board meetings;

Employees who try to expose misspending in the construction and maintenance divisions find themselves excoriated in public and their jobs placed in jeopardy;

A James Bond wannabe uses an e-mail alias to solicit help from school board members in an attempted coup against Superintendent Nancy Kline.
