How private groups — EMOs — became the unintended ‘third arm’ of SC’s public charter school system. No-bid contracts, locked-in related entities and less $$ for classrooms … with @IanGrenier1 @PCColumbia, @PCGreenville, @postandcourier

@IanGrenier1 Great work, Ian!

@Jon_Blau You’ve been great!!! We will miss you.

[Anna B. Mitchell @EdReporterSC]

Whoa. This is bananas. Kevin G. Appears to have gotten out of a situation by accepting the @ClemsonUniv position.

Here's my story about him -- including why he's leaving Michigan State.

"Americans are losing confidence in higher education & this isn't something new. This is a decade long challenge that we've been facing & we have got to do a better job of telling our story." -- @KevinGuskiewicz, after being chosen @ClemsonUniv’s 16th president. @postandcourier

[SC Emergency Management Division @SCEMD]

Who felt that one?
USGS confirms a 2.12 magnitude earthquake about 3 miles NNE of Calhoun Falls, SC around 9:47 last night (5/15/26).

Bobby Cox throws a first pitch.

Ejected. 👍🏼

RIP legend ⚾️✝️

Under loose regulations that never contemplated this, private entities have raked in millions to launch and run South Carolina’s publicly funded charter schools. Lawmakers are scrambling to catch up. https://t.co/0ZQylSV1kg

[Caitlin Byrd @MaryCaitlinByrd]

That number has since grown to 20.
The concerns range from worries about voter confusion, apathy and potential disenfranchisement, as well as the cost to SC taxpayers ($2.2-$2.5M). #scpol

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney believes college football is in a bad place with a lack of rules surrounding athlete pay. He would like to see athletes’ take-home pay capped — and the rest invested. https://t.co/7eQc40mvHk

Reporters spoke w/ Senate Majority Shane Massey about the proposed congressional map after the Senate decided to delay a vote over the amended sine die agreement.

First impressions? "It confirms the concerns that I've had all along," he said.

@NBCSports Brothers in first and second place! Gooooo!!!

[Anna B. Mitchell @EdReporterSC]

@MeyerCenter in Greenville is doing something new. This school serves ~100 children with disabilities from infancy through 2nd grade. It’s adding a tuition-based 4K program for 12 typically developing students. When all kids are together, all learn more, studies show. @SCPCSD

[Anna B. Mitchell @EdReporterSC]

From the @PC_EdLab’s @IanGrenier1 … SC lawmakers threatened to yank SC lottery $ for scholarships if @presbycollege failed to drop this prof — who wrote an opinion piece on sabbatical. Ultimately, she resigned. Is this how government chills speech at private institutions?

A former South Carolina professor is suing four state legislators after they threatened Presbyterian College’s financial aid over an essay she wrote following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. https://t.co/5GE63zn8R4
