LEXINGTON, SC – Pleasant Hill Middle Assistant Principal Michele Zee is one of 11 leaders from across the state chosen to participate in the 2014–2015 South Carolina Education Policy Fellowship Program (SC-EPFP).

During the 10-month intensive professional development program SC-EPFP fellows will conduct in-depth discussions of policy development and current issues on the local, state and federal levels. Fellows will learn from experts working in education and other fields relating to students and will engage in dialogue with key decision-makers affecting public policy.

In South Carolina the program is coordinated by the South Carolina School Improvement Council, located in the University of South Carolina College of Education, with the assistance of the South Carolina Department of Education’s Office of School Leadership.
