The Charleston County School Board has voted to pay former Superintendent Eric Gallien over $350,000 as part of a settlement agreement to part ways. An outside investigation found that Gallien did not create a hostile work environment, but he was found to have intentionally failed to comply with directives from the board. Gallien will receive one year's salary, an additional $50,000, reimbursement for expenses, and attorney fees. The board will now begin discussions on searching for a new superintendent.
