This morning, Tom Thompson, candidate for state superintendent of education, will be kicking off his Countdown to the Primary with a Listening Tour along the Interstate 95 to help bring attention to the special needs of the communities along this stretch of SC. The Listening Tour will serve as an opportunity for community members (parents, ministers, teachers, students, and concerned citizens) to speak with the candidate. Dr. Thompson will be seeking the input on such topics as school funding, school safety, quality of teaching, and adequacy of school facilities.
Team Tom will be in Bennettsville and Dillon today with stops along I-95 throughout the week. Events will include opportunities for community members to share their thoughts as to what items must be on the change agenda for the next state superintendent of education. Dr. Thompson has been traveling the state sharing information regarding his rich education experience and his platform.
Please keep an eye on this page for more on this week’s Listening Tour and encourage family and friends to vote on June 8th.
