- Elementary APs Instructional MeetingMary Lee, an SDPC bus companion in the Pickens area, died September 2. Beginning as a bus patrol/bus companion in the Liberty area, she rode the same route for the last 6 years with students from Simpson Academy, Gettys Middle, and the Pickens-area schools. Our sympathy goes out to her family and friends and to all the students whose lives she touched.
After reaffirming the board’s strong partnership with Dr. Hunt as they work together during difficult budget times to strengthen the educational programs offered to Pickens County students, Board Chairman Jim Shelton stated, “Dr. Hunt received an overall excellent evaluation. We feel very fortunate that Dr. Hunt is our superintendent. He is known as a man of character and enjoys great respect in the community and amongst our staff, which has translated into increased support of our school system this past year. We are pleased that Dr. Hunt demonstrated this past year that he is committed to putting the good of the district at the forefront of all that he does." News Release
According to the August 27th report, all general contractors were found to be in compliance. All but five subcontractors were found to be in compliance, and those five had a total of 35 illegal aliens employed.
“These are serious violations,” said Dr. Henry Hunt, superintendent. “We have continually stressed to our general contractors that the district expects, and our contracts require, general contractors and all subcontractors to follow all laws and regulations in constructing our schools. We will be consulting with our attorneys to determine appropriate action.”
The SCSBA Boardmanship Institute, established in 1982, offers a year-round training curriculum to help board members develop skills and stay abreast of state and national educational issues. Workshops focus on school law, school finance, legislation, improving board operations, leadership for improving student achievement, and other timely topics. Board members can achieve up to six levels of recognition by earning points that are accrued annually from July through June for participation in statewide conferences and training provided onsite in their districts.
