The 1st regular session of the 120th South Carolina General Assembly
January 8, 2013 - June 6, 2013

Your School Board's support of public education includes ongoing advocacy planning and action.  The School Board closely monitors legislation so they can both inform and work with the Laurens County Legislative Delegation and other elected officials regarding the impact of legislation on local students and citizens.   
 
The School Board's intention is not to endorse candidates, which we cannot do.  However, the School Board will promote public education and its importance to South Carolina.
