The Charleston County School Board has voted to pick Eric Gallien to be the district's next superintendent. The board voted 6-2 to enter into contract negotiations with Gallien, currently a superintendent in Wisconsin. He is the only remaining finalist in the search after two candidates withdrew last week. Board members Carlotte Bailey and Edward Kelley voted against the May 30 motion to enter contract negotiations. Board member Leah Whatley was not present. If contract negotiations are successful, Gallien will succeed Don Kennedy, who has served temporarily as superintendent since Gerrita Postlewait resigned suddenly in December 2021.
