Resident presses board on delayed public-record request and Lylesville Elementary roof
Summary
A resident told the board he filed a public-information request on 2026-04-30 and had received only one item after 88 days, and he raised concerns about a long-leaking roof and reported mold at Lylesville Elementary; he also asked if the board had begun a superintendent search.
A resident identified in the transcript as Mr. Crowley used his public-comment time to press the Anson County Board of Education on a public-information request he said he filed on April 30, 2026, and to raise safety and transparency concerns about Lylesville Elementary School. Crowley said 88 days had passed with only one item produced in response to his request and asked the board to explain the delay.
Crowley also described long-running problems with the Lylesville Elementary roof, saying he had seen pictures of mold and that he noticed caution tape around playground equipment while school was in session. He asked the trustees why the roof issue had been allowed to persist "for 30 plus years," and asked whether the board had begun a superintendent search. The chair acknowledged the comment but, consistent with board practice announced at the start of public comment, did not respond substantively during the meeting and indicated the superintendent and staff would investigate the issues and consult legal counsel if warranted.
