DARLINGTON, SC (WBTW) – Darlington County’s school board chose a new superintendent on Monday night.
The board voted to extend an offer to Dr. Tim Newman. He’s currently the superintendent of Orangeburg Consolidated School District 4.
“Dr. Newman emerged as a clear leader through our research and interviews, as well as in the feedback from our teachers, principals, staff, and community members,” said Jamie Morphis, chairman of the Darlington County Board of Education. “Dr. Newman is knowledgeable about our district. He presented us with intriguing, well-conceived ideas to address the needs of our district and students. Moreover, he has the experience, attitude, and leadership abilities to cross all lines and create a cohesive culture of excellence in our district.”
Newman will begin work for Darlington County on July 1.
Darlington County’s previous superintendent, Dr. Eddie Ingram, resigned in August to become superintendent for the Berkeley County School District.
