Yes, there are 3 districts in this area. This coming week they are all sending all of their administrators and district office staff to a "retreat" at an oceanfront condominium for a full week at Myrtle Beach. Courtesy of the local tax payers (unknown to them). Granted, this comes two weeks after the finance director cut 9 summer school teaching positions to "save money". The parents of the kids in summer school were promised no more than a 6-1 student teacher ratio so they could get the most benefit from remediation. It ended up being over 15 kids in one class, which defeated the purpose.

Ours did something similar to that last year. For all I know they do it every summer. *sheesh*
