Major personnel changes, Millage increases to support education,
and closing of old schools.
2.: The Board of Education through the Superintendent’s
Office Administers an Annual budget in excess of twenty-four
Million dollars. And, it is essential that the Board has sound fiscal
and personnel management policies, just as we expect of business,
industry and government. I further believe accountability is
essential for healthy upward-downward communication. Each
Board of Education must be answerable to his/her supervisor or
principal and thus to the Superintendent of school, who answers
to the Board, the Board answers to the people and the people to

James W. Phillips Age 53 2024 Warren Street
OCCUPATION: Plant Assigner with Southern Bell
EDUCATION: Completed ARC., plus 2 yrs. Business College
ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE: I have lived
in Richmond County all my life, and have four children, who
have completed schools in Richmond County, and now I have
eight grandchildren who are attending school now or will be in
the near future. Since serving in the armed service, flying combat
missions against Japan. 1 have been employed by Sou. Bell Tel. &
Tel. Co. for the past 28 years. I am a member of the American
Legion. Veterans of Foreign Wars, Woodmen of the World,
Communication Workers of America, Augusta Federation of
Trades, and The Telephone Pioneers of Georgia. I feel that these
years of experience well qualify me for this office.
1. I feel that the main problems facing the Board of
Education is our housing. We have some old worn buildings, that
is responsible for the discomfort of our children, and their
parents are protesting about it. 1 would like to see all of our
buildings modernized, including installing air condition where it is
needed. Our Tec-schools are spread out all over the county, and I
would like to have them all located in one centeralized area. We
should have a referendum to see if the taxpayers think that this is
important enough to vote yes on a bond to finance these projects.
I also feel that all of the unnecessary bussing should be stopped.
It does nothing but causes frustrations to all people involved. I do
not kdo not know, how this can be brought about, but the Board
should exhaust all efforts to bring this practice to a halt.
2. All of the employees of the Board are now accountable to
the Board of Education, thru their respective suppervisorsand the
Board of Education members, are accountable to the voters. 1 am
very much in favor in this type of accountability.
