DARLINGTON, SC – During its August meeting on Monday, the Darlington County Board of Education appointed J. Ervin McElveen as Director of Operations and Maintenance for the Darlington County School District and Tony Thomas as the district’s Director of Transportation.
“It’s always a positive move for our district when we are able to hire such exceptional talent from within our own ranks,” said Dr. Eddie Ingram, superintendent. “Mr. Thomas and Mr. McElveen both bring a wealth of experience and skills to their new positions. I am confident under their leadership our transportation and operations departments will exceed expectations as we strive to become a 21st century district.”
McElveen will transition from the district’s Hartsville-area bus supervisor, a position he has held since 2002, to director of operational and maintenance related services. Thomas, who spent the past six years as an assistant principal at North Hartsville Elementary School, will oversee the district’s system of school buses and drivers.
Both McElveen and Thomas will begin in their new positions immediately.
