"Charleston Co. School District Faces Turmoil: Superintendent's Departure Sparks Clash and Calls for Unity"

The Charleston County School Board has voted to pay former Superintendent Eric Gallien over $350,000 as part of a settlement agreement to part ways. An outside investigation found that Gallien did not create a hostile work environment, but he was found to have intentionally failed to comply with directives from the board. Gallien will receive one year's salary, an additional $50,000, reimbursement for expenses, and attorney fees. The board will now begin discussions on searching for a new superintendent.

Controversy Surrounds Charleston Co. School Board Meeting on Superintendent's Contract

Civil rights activists and board members have raised concerns about a secretive special called meeting to review the superintendent's contract, calling for transparency and accountability. The meeting is set to take place after the school board's Committee as a Whole meeting, with the agenda including the superintendent's contract and a personnel matter. Gallien, who became the district's superintendent on July 1, has expressed his commitment to the community and building relationships.
