Board of Trustees
The First Steps Board of Trustees was established to oversee the First
Steps to school Readiness initiative. Governor Mark Sanford chairs the
Board of Trustees, and Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum serves
on the board. As required, the Governor, President Pro Tempore of the Senate
and Speaker of the House appointed twenty additional voting members. Eleven
non-voting positions for state agency and organization representatives
were filled.
Each of the state's 46 counties has formed a legislatively-designed partnership
board, including parents of young children, representatives of the business,
faith, education, health and non-profit communities. |
