The Horry County School board announced several new updates during a meeting yesterday. First on the agenda was naming a new vice-chairman following the recent passing of John Poston. Member Neil James was nominated to the position and then approved in a unanimous vote. The HCS board also revealed they hope to finish the installation of plexiglass barriers by March 15th. It was further confirmed they will try to reach some agreement by the end of this week with local hospitals over the issue of vaccinating teachers.
