COLUMBIA, SC — Today State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman announced she will not seek re-election. SCDP Chair Trav Robertson, Jr. released the following statement:
“We learned through this pandemic and the discussions that ensued about student health and safety that Molly Spearman had the best interest of teachers and students in mind while Henry McMaster and other South Carolina Republicans did not. After almost two years of being ignored, overlooked, and scorned by the extreme elements of the Republican establishment, I understand why she would not seek re-election. While we did not always agree, we never doubted Molly Spearman’s dedication to the children of South Carolina. Her service to our state is appreciated.”
