“Over the past few weeks Mr. Del Burns has disqualified himself from continued service to the Wake County School Board.

Since Mr. Burns would not recognize the authority of the school board as directed via the people at the ballot box, what other choice did the board have than to remove him?

North Carolina's laws leave little doubt that the superintendent, appropriately called an administrator, works for the elected school board. It says a lot that Mr. Burns cares more about socioeconomic diversity than diversity of opinion.

Mr. Burns’ behavior has helped create division in our community rather than help heal it. While tonight’s decision was difficult, the elected school board was left no other choice.”
