This is 100% correct! Glad S.C. has chosen to restrict cell phone use during school hours!.

Great meeting with @SenatorTimScott today here in DC!. We’re united in our commitment to putting students first. It’s time to return education dollars and decision-making power back to states and local schools—because South Carolina's education future is bright!🌟📚.
It’s always great to catch up with my friend @ellenfored to discuss how we can work together to strengthen education across South Carolina. We must provide students with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to be successful both in and out of the classroom.

Today, President @realDonaldTrump emphasized the importance of returning educational power to states, families, and local schools. I want to affirm that our commitment to protections and funding for students with special needs and those in poverty remains unwavering. Together.

Mrs. Mary Ann Riley was a beautiful lady, tireless worker, and friend to all. We will miss her kind spirit at events in Spartanburg County, across South Carolina, and even in Washington D.C., where I recently saw her at President Trump's inauguration. May her determination live

Thank you for fighting for our teachers, Governor. Proud to stand with you in the push to $50K!.
South Carolina's prosperity depends on investing in our teachers. Over the past 8 years, we have raised starting teacher pay by 56%. This year, I'll work with the General Assembly to raise the minimum starting salary to $50,000 - a year ahead of my 2026 goal.
