Community Updates: Education Matters

Horry County Schools Board of Education held a work session on February 10, where new superintendent Clifford Jones outlined his goals as the district enters the 2025-26 budget season. Fiscal responsibility is key, as every taxpayer dollar plays an important role in funding the district.

In an effort to attract new teachers, the district is expected to spend about $8.3 million to boost first-year teacher salaries to $50,000. This is a well-needed increase from the current starting salary of $48,275. Meanwhile, Governor Henry McMaster proposed raising the minimum starting salary for teachers to $50,000—a move that greatly supports the teaching profession’s future.

Crime and Concerns

On a more somber note, authorities are continuing the search for Christopher Todd, a 39-year-old man reported missing since late December. Last seen in March 2024, Todd is described as standing at 5’11” and weighing around 185 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. The community remains hopeful for his safe return.

Legal Matters at Dollar Tree

The incident occurred when she became entangled in the noodle display while shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, resulting in her losing consciousness and requiring hospitalization. The lawsuit claims that the store failed to provide safe shopping conditions, leading to her unfortunate accident.
