Horry County Schools will mount a nationwide search for a new superintendent, after accepting the resignation of current Superintendent Dr. Rick Maxey on Monday, April 29. The board also heard a request from the Horry County Education Association, an organization comprised of district educators, to meet with the superintendent, HCS Human Resources reps and board members to discuss employment contracts.
Some Horry County Schools teachers contend their contracts are too vague. To make a point, they are waiting until the state s deadline to sign the agreements.
Recent hot-button topics including religion in schools and book banning crept up on social media in the days before the Horry County Schools meeting – and crowds on both sides came to voice their opinions about one side or another.
