Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell (D-44) has been chosen as the only legislator among 16 state educators to participate in the S.C. Education Policy Fellowship Program for 2017-18. SC-EPFP is a 10-month intensive professional development program for educational leaders. Seventeen states have an EPFP. The S.C. program is the only one this year to have a sitting state legislator. Norrell said the program will give her the chance to learn what educators need and bring that information to the legislature.
