Glad SC can be a leader in this important benefit for teachers

Guaranteed paid parental leave for public school teachers in SC when they welcome a new child via birth, adoption, or fostering will soon be on the governor’s desk — House members just unanimously voted to agree with changes senators made to the bill last week.

Thanks to @SCCounties, I saw the SC House in session for the first time today, and now we're talking legislative agenda. I'm grateful for opportunities to connect and learn more about county and state governing.

@kerrikwist No. This group covered a lot of topics, but Chris didn't come up.

Greetings from the meeting of the Pickens County delegation. There's a rather large crowd here in Liberty to kick off the legislative session. I'll live tweet it here.

Woman speaker (missed name): wants "age-inappropriate books out of reach of impressionable children." Don't entice kids to see pornographic images in books. We're not banning books, we're protecting kids.

Rachel Cox: think of the effect of bills on citizens you don't hear from. "Disappointed in the caliber of education bills" - they don't support students or teachers. We don't need additional/prohibitive laws - consider nuance, all words.

Jessica Merrill: advocates for homeless people and related needs. Shared problems she sees (and has had) with Pickens' homeless shelter. Encounters problems with people doing drugs. Recommended Dream Center.
