Dr. Beth Everitt arrived as the Aiken School District superintendent in January 2008 with a goal to engage the community and schools. She noted South Carolina lawmakers underfunding per pupil allocations and a sales tax hike creating unstable revenue. She identified high and low performing areas and launched initiatives including expanded assessments, principal training, data driven instruction and a literacy focus amid early state cuts and ongoing federal stimulus funds.
