Spearman Pushes Bus Routing, Consolidation, and Pay

How does a panel of state senators in South Carolina's Republican-controlled body get a chairman who is a former Democratic candidate for governor? Never mind.

In response to the Abbeville schools lawsuit decision, SC Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman mentioned raising teacher pay, efficient bus routing, and consolidating small districts. 

"Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Camden and committee chairman, encouraged Spearman to compile a list of what she believes are the state's top needs for addressing education equity."

Forget the rerouting, Molly--just get us newer buses!

Teacher pay, always a problem, is no more important than teaching conditions, Molly.

Good luck on those consolidations. I'll believe it can happen when Dorchester District 2 merges with Dorchester District 4.

Not likely in my lifetime!
