TransformSC presented to Public Education Supporters

The SC Council on Competitiveness unveiled TransformSC, an initiative to transform public education in South Carolina, at an education summit held on May 1. A stellar line up of education innovators and innovation supporters energized and motivated a packed conference of over 300 business leaders, school superintendents, school administrators, school board members, and many other parties interested in rethinking public school in South Carolina. Response to the summit was overwhelmingly positive with statements from participants that, “a movement has begun.” State Superintendent Mick Zais addressed the conference asserting his support for the total transformation of an outdated school system that was designed over 100 years ago for an agrarian society.
