The report contains a listing for every agency receiving an appropriation in the annual General Appropriations Act. The Comptroller General's Office compiled the report as much as possible from data recorded in the state’s central accounting system. Agencies and institutions that have the authority to issue their own checks and maintain their own accounting systems provided us their travel data to include in this report. This report is prepared as a management tool to assist agency heads and state leaders in ensuring that the state's financial resources are being used efficiently. Total travel-related spending for the year was ten percent (or $8.1 million) higher than the year before. Please contact me if you have any questions about this report. PREFACE The Comptroller General's Office compiled this report on travel expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, to the extent possible, from data recorded in the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS).

  • 2020 Silver Elephant Dinner
    SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE 53rd ANNUAL SILVER ELEPHANT PRE-RECEPTION SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE 53rd ANNUAL SILVER ELEPHANT GUEST SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE 53rd ANNUAL SILVER ELEPHANT STAFF SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE 53rd ANNUAL SILVER ELEPHANT PRESS SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE 53RD ANNUAL SILVER ELEPHANT DINNER • 2020 FTS-SC-RepParty-2020-SilverElephantProgram.indd 1 9/8/20 9:50 AM never WELCOME CHAIRMAN DREW MCKISSICK Welcome to the 2020 Silver Elephant Gala! For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

  • South Carolina Department of Education 1100 Gervais Street 1429 Senate Street Columbia, SC 29201 Columbia, SC 29201
    April 13, 2021 The Honorable Henry McMaster Superintendent Molly Spearman Governor of South Carolina Department of Education 1100 Gervais Street 1429 Senate Street Columbia, SC 29201 Columbia, SC 29201 Dear Governor McMaster and Superintendent Spearman, As President and CEO of the Southern Education Foundation (SEF), a 154-year-old civil rights and education advocacy organization, I am writing to encourage you to use South Carolina’s share of K-12 relief funding under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) toward the advancement and improvement of public schools in the state. As you know, South Carolina will receive $2.11 billion in the third iteration of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSERF III) from the ARPA to directly support and bolster public education in the state.i Out of this amount, at least $1.9 billion must be distributed to local educational agencies (LEAs), and the state can reserve a maximum of $211 million for its own use. As a part of its total ESSERF III allocation, South Carolina is also receiving over $105 million to specifically address lost instructional time, $21 million to institute and bolster summer enrichment programs, and another $21 million for afterschool programs.ii In addition, South Carolina will receive a share of the $7.2 billion for broadband expansion from the ARPA and $3.9 billion of the $360 billioniii in state and local funding in the ARPA. This historic infusion of federal funding provides new opportunities to update school infrastructure in low-wealth rural and urban school districts, recruit and retain a high-quality teacher workforce, and implement the recommendations included in this letter.
