The lives of hundreds of sick, neglected, abused and/or abandoned animals have been saved through the volunteer efforts of Lauren Hill and Jan Craig Olinger.
The women met while volunteering at Greenville County Animal Care years ago. Today, they help shelter animals through Upstate Foster Link, a Facebook group to facilitate communication among volunteers, rescuers, and potential pet foster parents. While there are many people locally who work tirelessly on behalf (of animals) and raise money for these animals (myself included), no two people have taken more of a leadership role than Lauren Hill and Jan Craig-Olinger, Julie Horton said.
South Carolina proviso could cut funding from schools based on number of virtual students Ariel Gilreath, Greenville News
South Carolina schools could see a drop in state funding next year if districts allow too many students to opt for virtual classes in the fall.
A proviso in the Senate s version of the state budget would cut funding for school districts with more than 5% of students in virtual programs. For every student past the 5% threshold, schools could see the amount of money they get per student cut nearly in half.
The proviso was added to an initial version of the budget days after state legislators required all public schools in South Carolina to offer full, five-days-a-week instruction in an effort to get students back in classrooms after many spent the past year doing virtual and hybrid instruction.
