A fresh start for Mount Pleasant

Following a tumultuous year, the rural Mount Pleasant School District appears to be making some good headway in its efforts to “right the ship.”

Earlier this year Cheryl Randall, who worked for the School District for 27 years, resigned after being charged with theft for allegedly using a school district credit card to purchase gas for her personal vehicle. Randall, who was the district’s bus driver, recess aide, cafeteria and custodial supervisor, and building maintenance supervisor, eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay restitution, serve one day in jail and four days of community service, and serve probation for two years.
