Who is Beth Havens, and what value does she add to the Charleston County School District at a cost of $188,000? She has worked for edublob organization Education Elements and seems to have made Postlewait's acquaintance in Horry County.
A personal friend?
Havens "floats" to tasks created by Postlewait in different administrative departments, according to Robin Steinberger of Lowcountry Source. "She has also served as a personal advocate for school board member Eric Mack’s daughter at St. Johns High School on Johns Island."
Maybe there's a good reason that a school board member's daughter needs a personal advocate. We'd like to hear it.
Meanwhile, questions still remain regarding the hiring of Don Kennedy as CCSD's Chief Financial Officer. Kennedy left the Seattle school district (where he was hired by former CCSD Superintendent Goodloe-Johnson) under a cloud. It seems "questionable contracting decisions" were at issue. He previously served with her in Charleston.
Five candidates applied for to be CFO; Kennedy did not, but he was hired anyway.
Hmmm. Old friends indeed.
