Letter To The Editor: Resident Asks Marlow To Resign From BOE

Canton resident Marla Finn wants Cherokee School Board Member Kelly Marlow to resign from the District 1 seat.

Dear Ms. Marlow:

I write this letter you as a concerned, tax paying citizen of Cherokee County.  I am a homeowner and a voter in Post 1 with a bright rising 4th grader in CCSD.  I choose to live in Cherokee County because of the excellent reputation our schools have had and the performance our schools continue to deliver.  

I have never been one to get heavily involved in political matters - I research the candidates, I vote in the elections and I usually am not terribly disappointed with the outcomes.  I agree on some matters, disagree on others, but respect differing opinions.

You, however, have forever changed my focus on politics and my ability to trust that we the people have elected the best possible candidate.  Allow me to review your performance in the short six months since you have been sworn in as Post 1 Board Member of CCSD:

  • You have done nothing but cause chaos in our community;
  • You have made Cherokee County the laughing stock of our state;
  • You have failed to deliver on anything you promised in your election campaign;
  • You have failed to perform as an effective Board Member;
  • You have failed to understand your role on the Board;
  • You have failed to work as part of a cohesive team;
  • You have derailed every board meeting you have participated in;
  • You have lied to our community on numerous occasions;
  • You have failed to follow through with transparency;
  • You have been a failure since being sworn in just six short months ago.
Do you have it in you to do anything right for this community and the 39,000+ students in CCSD?  

Because if you do, I have a suggestion:  RESIGN. 

Sincerely,

Marla Finn
