New Law Slows Hiring Of Child Protection Staffers
A South Carolina law requiring fingerprinting and background checks for day care and DSS staff has slowed hiring. About 80 more child protection workers are needed, with shortages in Richland, Spartanburg, Charleston, Horry, and Aiken counties. The change, added late in the session, allows provisional work while checks are processed, easing daycare staffing but complicating DSS hiring.
