List of sneaky and dishonest acts by Eastern School District
MacDonald’s impact study is starting to show it was a rushed job when CBC reported some children would be on buses more than an hour each way. <a
Some of the board documents list Eastern School District Sandy MacDonald as having a PHd. In what, lying and deception? Which graduate school teaches that?
Let’s list the sneaky things Sandy MacDonald has done. If I miss something, please send me a comment or email njnnews@gmail.com :
1. Hired Ghiz’s patronage consultant to cook the enrolment report for $93,000
2. Use old enrolment data in the report and unscientific statistical analysis
3. Try to bribe Parents for Learning committee with $15,000 consulting fee
2. Released the report on the last day of December when the media and most people are off work for the holidays
3. Omitted all impact information
4. Muzzled Infringed the Board members responsibilities to listen and talk to public
5. Infringed the Board members Charter rights to freedom of conscience, thought, belief, opinion and expression, peaceful assembly and freedom of association. That pretty well sums up Section 2 of the Charter apart from religion and the press. That single act to me is unconscionable in a public official. MacDonald should resign or Ghiz should fire him. We don’t pay public officials big salaries to infringe our rights.
6. Told the CBC Compass on February 5th, 2009 he hadn’t done an impact study
7. Produced a 56 page Impact study on February 10th, despite having only one working day, the 9th.
8. Told Parents for Learning offside they “might” get a new school while reporting two schools would be renovated.
9. Issuing flawed impact statement with high bus travel times and promising to fix it later “if it’s brought to his attention by parents.”
10. Making unsubstantiated claim that special needs children are better off in larger schools where “many have full-time resource programs”
11. Wasting $14,000 on travel junket while claiming schools must be closed to save money.
How can we trust him? Who can trust him? It’s too much to keep up with. I’m sure the list is going to get longer. We need people in public office we can trust and this man has broken faith with Islanders.
Yet another example of how this Government does not know how to Govern. Mike Duffy was right when he said Joe Ghiz was a Great Man and Robert Ghiz is well ummm let’s just leave it there.
This Government is bathed in corruption and scandal and ignorance. They care only about helping a few of their friends.
What is most funny is that they want to Help Myrtle Jenkins Smith get rich and yet this is the same woman who along with Spencer Campbell stabbed the Premier’s own mother in the back when she tried to run in the 1996 Election.
It goes to show just how shallow and immature the Premier and the people around him are. They have no level of decency or compassion or caring for PEI.
Joe Ghiz I am sure has turned over several times in his grave and is looking for a shovel to dig himself out.

[...] That’s what we got going on here in this little backwater Province of PEI. We got ourselves the stink of lies, of swamp water in the hot deep south. We got an autocratic Premier who wants to close rural schools. He hires his favorite hired gun Myrtle Jenkins Smith to write a phony report. We got a school superintendent Sandy MacDonald with a doctorate in mendacity. You have to keep a list on the fridge of all his lies. List of sneaky and dishonest acts by Eastern School District [...]
