Chairman Greg A. Thompson says, "This significant financial contribution is a vote of confidence from a nationally renowned philanthropic group that validates the efforts to build a high-quality public education system right here in Sumter — we are off to a strong start!” The funding will be used for the initial implementation of LSC and refinement of its educational programming to include professional development among other things.
