Whereas, during his career, Dr. Brazell has worked as a teacher, principal, district program director, assistant superintendent, and superintendent for both Laurens County School District 56 and the South Carolina Public Charter School District. In recognition of his outstanding leadership and innovative spirit, he was honored by the South Carolina Association of School Administrators and the South Carolina Department of Education as the District-level Administrator of the Year in 2007; and
Whereas, Dr. Brazell joined the South Carolina Public Charter School District as a board member on July 1, 2008.
