In a majority vote held on June, 16, 2011, the Edgefield County School Board voted to eliminate the position of human resources director as of July 1, 2011, a position then held by Shawn Clinkscales.

On the following Tuesday, Ms. Clinkscales submitted a short resignation letter. Ms. Clinkscales’ duties will be disseminated among several members of the Edgefield County School District staff and support elements.

School district attorney Greg Anderson said the move was intended to shore up the district’s already strapped finances.
