The Horry County school board welcomed four members. Kay Loftus, Paul Peterson, John Poston, and Trent Hardee were given the oath of office at Monday night’s board meeting at the Academy for Technology and Academics.

After many hours of testimony Monday, it was decided there will be no re-count in an Horry County Board of Education election. District 9 incumbent Ronald Bessant lost by just 121 votes in the November 4 election.
