State Representative JA Moore (D-Charleston) released the following statement after the Charleston County School Board voted to put Superintendent Dr. Eric Gallien on leave during a board meeting on Monday:
“The five members of the Charleston County School Board who voted for this are a disgrace. It's a shame that our children's education has become a game for political hacks who have no interest in doing their jobs. It's evident that the ‘investigation' into Superintendent Gallien was racially motivated and that is unacceptable. This toxicity is pushing quality educators away from the classroom and making the problems facing CCSD worse.”
