State's school volunteers to be honored by educators
COLUMBIA — South Carolina education officials are recognizing 19 groups and people who volunteer in public schools.
The State Board of Education will honor the volunteers Tuesday at Saluda Shoals Park in Columbia.
Legislators created the annual Volunteer Awards in 1984 as a way to salute the time, energy and talents volunteers contribute to South Carolina’s schools.
The winners are chosen from candidates nominated by school districts.
The 2009 winners include 14 people, two businesses, a church, a parent-teacher association, and a school improvement council.
They represent 12 of the state’s 85 districts. Berkeley County had the most winners, with five. The state’s largest district, Greenville County, had three winners, and Charleston County had two.
