Berkeley County School District

It is based in Moncks Corner and serves all of Berkeley County including the portion of the City of Charleston on Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula.

[2] Berkeley County School District was founded in 1912 in Moncks Corner, S.C.[3] In 2011 Rodney Thompson became the superintendent.

By 2015 he received a criminal indictment on a school bond campaign-related ethics offense, and he was removed from his position.

The district made two attempts at finding a new superintendent, with the second occurring after a finalist dropped out of the process.

The district selected Brenda Blackburn, previously the Montgomery County Public Schools (Virginia) superintendent, and she took the position on November 1, 2015.

Prior to his time in Darlington, Ingram spent four years as the superintendent of Franklin County Schools in North Carolina.

Dr. Ingram is credited with assisting BCSD in several positive movements, including but not limited to a focus on innovation in the classroom and personalized learning.

[7] In the summer of 2021, Dr. Eddie Ingram retired from his position as the Superintendent of Berkeley County School District.

The following finalists were named in the selection process of a new Superintendent: Deon Jackson, Anthony Dixon, & Glenda Gibson.

[9] After public comment, Mrs. Bradley spoke to the audience of the meeting saying, "...what we are about to do in this session, ladies & gentlemen you are being fooled by these six (pointing to Wofford, McQuillin, Ramsey, Littleton, & Hinson) I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." The board proceeded to vote on student attendance & expulsion appeals.

Chairmen I make a motion to terminate the employment of Dr. Tiffany Richardson as in-house general counsel for Berkeley County School District and retain services..." The audience was shocked and expressed this aloud, Chairmen McQuillin responded by saying, "We're going to maintain order in this meeting."

Littleton continued, "and retain the services of Mr. Brandon Gaskins effective immediately as discussed in executive session."

He was replaced by Dr. Tiffany Richardson The motion was seconded by Mrs. Wofford, Chairmen McQuillin asked if there was any discussion to which both Mr. Barrow & Mrs. Bradley replied in the affirmative.

His smile quickly faded when he heard the frustration in Mr. Barrow's voice when saying, "I'm asking the question of the person who made the motion.

Mrs. Bradley then expressed her concern with terminating an employee without a given reason, indicating the district would not be able to close the 140-teacher gap if this practice continued.

"[9] The motion was then carried (6-3) Dr. Richardson got up and walked out the door while being applauded by members of the audience as well as Mr. Barrow, Mrs. Wigfall, & Mrs.

McQuillin proceeded to say, "I make a motion to terminate the employment of Mr. Deon Jackson, the Superintendent of the Berkeley County School District, effective immediately."

[9] It is worth noting all members who voted to terminate the employment of Dr. Jackson & Dr. Richardson are backed by Moms for Liberty.
