SCDTSEA leaders are working to have another great teaching conference. DOE used to have education workshops, but now such belongs to the SCDTSEA Conference. It will be held at the Criminal Justice Academy in Columbia. The theme is “14 hours Plus”. Please mark November 17 for this, and more information will be sent later.

Sincerely,
Joe Sabbadino
Past President, SCDTSEA
