Stop State ESAs and Vouchers
- By Press Release
Don't Shackle Parents with Government Subsidies
ACT NOW: State legislatures are increasingly considering and enacting school vouchers and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Although these proposals might sound good, they severely threaten individual freedom and parental rights by shackling parents and religious schools to government funding — and the various strings attached. It is imperative that state legislators oppose vouchers and ESAs, and instead protect educational freedom!
State legislatures are increasingly considering and passing legislation implementing vouchers and ESAs, with West Virginia and Arizona being the first states to enact broad-based versions of this policy. Now, in 2023, even more states are considering and enacting such legislation.

Update from SC State Superintendent of Education
- By Ellen Weaver | State Superintendent of Education
It’s been over two months since we took office and we hit the ground running. I promised on the campaign trail to be a voice for students, teachers, and parents – and that is exactly what I’ve done.
I’ve had the privilege to visit schools statewide over the past few months and I am proud to see the level of dedication our students and educators bring into the classroom every day! Several of those visits were to present “Teacher of Year” awards to outstanding educators across the state.
What a blessing these teachers are to our students and communities!

NGU, CSU Represented in World Baseball Classic This Month
- By Billy Cannada - NGU
When the World Baseball Classic begins March 8, the global tournament will feature 600 players on teams representing 20 nations, including a bevy of Major League Baseball stars, and two standouts currently playing for South Carolina Baptist universities.
North Greenville University’s Marek Chlup and Charleston Southern University’s Daniel Padysak are members of the Czech Republic’s team which starts play in the Tokyo Dome on March 9. They are in a five-team pool which could well put Chlup, 2022 Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, in the batter’s box versus MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani. Or Padysak, a right-handed pitcher, could be on the mound versus the Japanese phenom.

Celebrating the transformation of North Greenville University’s historic administration building into a new home for the College of Business and Entrepreneurship (COBE) and senior executive offices, the NGU community left its mark on the Donnan/COBE Project last Thursday afternoon, participating in a prayer and dedication ceremony on the Tigerville campus.
NGU students, faculty, staff, donors, and board members had the opportunity to permanently inscribe their names, prayers, and scriptures on an 18-foot steel beam that will be used to complete the $9.7 Million Donnan/COBE Project. The university’s administration building was first opened in 1955.
