McMaster ousts Governor’s School board days after members vote to go virtual in fall



A week after South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster urged schools to reopen for in-person classes five days a week, board members for the Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics, who voted to hold virtual classes in the fall, were replaced.

McMaster appointed nine new board members Monday, replacing six of the previous board members whose terms had already expired and filling three vacant seats, according to the S.C. Secretary of State’s Office.
