The State | 08/16/2008 | President of School for Deaf, Blind replaced
Pamela Shaw, president of the state School for the Deaf and the Blind in Spartanburg, is no longer in that position after seven months on the job. The commission that oversees the agency isn’t saying publicly why.
After a 4½-hour closed meeting, the school’s Board of Commissioners announced Friday that Shaw, of Spartanburg, would be replaced by Carol Mabry, who will serve as interim president of the school while a search for a new president is conducted.
Mabry, according to the school’s Web site, was vice president of outreach services.
The commission did not disclose a reason for Shaw’s departure or any contractual terms reached in her leaving the agency.
Shaw earned $115,000 a year in her post, according to state salary records.
Shaw attended the specially called meeting of the board but did not answer any questions about the decision, referring inquiries to her attorney, J. Lewis Cromer of Columbia. Cromer’s office could not be reached for comment Friday evening.
The S.C. School for the Deaf and the Blind is based at the Spartanburg campus and has satellite programs statewide.
The school provides services for deaf and blind children and adults, their families and the professionals who work with them.
SCSDB offers preschool to high school programs and vocational and postsecondary education.
