In this episode, we speak with South Carolina Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman. We discuss the ongoing pandemic and its impact on our schools, students, teachers, and families. We touch on what we've learned nearly a year after shutting down schools and the ways schools can safely get back to in-person instruction, plus what can be done for teacher morale. We ask Superintendent Spearman about the success of charter schools in SC and what has surprised her about their growing popularity. Plus, we get her thoughts on the push to expand the 4K program across the state.

We appreciate the Superintendent's time and her leadership for schools, districts, and students around our state. Find more about the South Carolina Department of Education here: https://ed.sc.gov/.
