To the Editor:

After reading a story you reported about Shining Rock Classical Academy, I felt the need to share my experiences with Joshua Morgan. 

I worked with Morgan during his time in the Greenville County School District. I concur with the assessment that he is very knowledgeable and well versed in academic standards and practice. However, notwithstanding Mr. Morgan’s ability to “talk a good talk,” that’s where the skills end. 

It should be asked, why would Mr. Morgan travel out of state to pursue an administrative position when plenty of positions continue to be available in his home county and his former employee, Buncombe County? Why was he released from employment with Greenville County Schools after such a short tenure? I and numerous others would agree with Laura Arrington, Kelley Messer and Melissa Taylor that Joshua Morgan has no business in an administrative position. For the sake of all students and staff at Shining Rock Classical Academy I sincerely hope the board will continue their search for a qualified and competent candidate.
