Special Meeting Set For January 21st
SMITHFIELD – On behalf of the Johnston County Board of Education, Chairperson Lyn Andrews released the following statement regarding the Ronald Johnson trial:
“The criminal trial of Ronald Johnson, a Board of Education member, has now concluded. A jury has found Mr. Johnson guilty on all counts including felony extortion, felony obstruction of justice, and two counts of willful failure to discharge duties of his office. This ordeal has taken a tremendous amount of resources over the past three years and our thoughts are with the many victims impacted by his actions.”
“The Board appreciates the dedication of many individuals who worked to bring closure for the Board of Education, Johnston County Public Schools staff and students, and the citizens of Johnston County. With this trial behind us, the Board of Education will work with legal counsel to begin the process of filling the vacancy on the Board of Education.”
The Johnston County Board of Education will hold a special meeting on Tuesday, January 21st 8:00am to begin the process of filling Johnson’s vacant seat.
Only one choice is the right choice, Jeff Sullivan. The man who would have won if the trial of RJ didn’t drag on for so long.
Maybe now we can learn to vote for candidates who have character and morals, not party only. I mean really, voted back in office 2 men in Johnston county, one sex offender, and a black mailer. And they won our county’s support. And our county voted for a president who was convicted of sexual assault. Yet we say we want the best for our children.. I’m thankful parts of our constitution are holding up, standing strong for rights of We the People. God bless America. Such Jones USA Retired
Thank you for sharing Chairman Andrews’ statement.
I’m sure she meant the many victims impacted by the actions of this school board with a few examples being archived stories on JoCoReport…

School Board Soap Opera Continues
Also worth noting: Adamant on keeping schools closed during the pandemic until they received notices of intent to file claims against their individual surety bonds.
Mr. Johnson did at least show to Johnston County Taxpayers How Dishonest the Johnston County School Board is when that tape recording at the School Board meeting a Board member saying “We need to Hide several $$Thousands of monies we have on hand, so the County Commissioners will give us More $$ money.
Just another position the voters don’t get a say in.
The School Board are the ones that are the criminals!!! You are just like high school- if others do not believe the way you want ,then we are out of the “click”.
Always remember most of these Rino’s voted with Comrad Kay Carrol to keep your kids in masks for 2yrs with zero science to back it up. They’ll bow down and cave again if given the chance.
