Anglers get 1 day to bag red snapper off the South Carolina coast, SCDNR says

WAY. NOW HERE’S CAROL AND NIGEL, WYFF NEWS FOUR AT SIX STARTS RIGHT NOW. I THINK SOMETIMES FOLKS CAN UNDERESTIMATE HOW IMPORTANT OUR CUSTODIANS ARE. I’M MAYA PAYTON AND ANDERSON SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE JUST HAS A FEW SHORT WEEKS TO RALLY UP CUSTODIANS. I’M TOLD A JOB THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURING THAT EACH CHILD THAT ENTERED THESE DOORS ARE SAFE AND HEALTHY. MOSTLY SUNNY AND KIND OF HOT FOR THURSDAY. HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S, BUT THE HUMIDITY IS GOING DOWN. HOW LONG? WE’LL SEE LOWER HUMIDITY IN THE UPSTATE. COMING UP NEXT, A DUAL CREDIT COURSE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL ALLOW THEM TO GET COLLEGE CREDIT TOWARDS A NURSING DEGREE. PHOENIX AT USC UPSTATE WITH MORE ON THIS OPPORTUNITY. NEW ON WYFF NEWS FOUR AT SIX. IT’S A RESCUE. YOU MIGHT ONLY HEAR ABOUT IN A MOVIE, AND IT ALL STARTED WITH A FACEBOOK POST HERE IN HART COUNTY, GEORGIA. BUT FIRST AT SIX, JUST ABOUT THREE WEEKS UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS IN ONE UPSTATE DISTRICT AND SOME ARE NOW QUESTIONING IF THE SCHOOLS WILL BE READY WHEN STUDENTS WALK THROUGH THE DOOR RIGHT NOW, THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF CUSTODIANS. MAYA PAYTON JOINS US IN ANDERSON COUNTY NOW, WHERE SCHOOL LEADERS ARE HOPING THE COMMUNITY WILL HELP FILL THE GAP. MAYA. YEAH. NIGEL CARROLL WITH THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FAST APPROACHING ON AUGUST 1ST, I’M TOLD THAT THERE ARE VACANCIES AT ALL LEVELS, SO THAT INCLUDES ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL. I’M TOLD THAT THESE CUSTODIANS ARE THE BACKBONES OF THESE SCHOOLS WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTH. AND WHEN IT COMES TO WELLNESS, AND THEY’RE OFTEN THE ONES WHO ARE IN THESE SCHOOLS BEFORE THE FIRST BELL RINGS, BEFORE THOSE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARRIVE. THEY ARE AT WORK NOW. THE CUSTODIAN VACANCIES MAKE UP ABOUT 10% OF CURRENT OPENINGS, I’M TOLD. THAT’S A LOT FOR THE DISTRICT SIZE AND WHETHER THERE IS A SHORTAGE OR NOT. THAT JOB HAS TO GET DONE MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, SAYS JASON MCCAULEY. HE’S THE PRINCIPAL OF PALMETTO MIDDLE SCHOOL, ACCORDING TO THE DISTRICT’S WEBSITE, THE JOB OFFERS A STARTING PAY OF $13.13 PER HOUR FOR THOSE WITH NO EXPERIENCE. NOW, WITH EXPERIENCE, PAY CAN INCREASE FOR 32 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. IT RISES TO $18.07 PER HOUR. THE SHORTAGE, THOUGH, CAN CAUSE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TO HAVE TO PITCH IN AND HELP. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE FULL TEAMS BECAUSE IT DOES STRAIN OUR OTHER TEAMS AND IT PUTS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY ON OUR FOLKS IF THEY’RE NOT ABLE TO WORK AT FULL CAPACITY, A DIRTY BUILDING, UH, YOU KNOW, WILL MAKE KIDS SICK AND MAKE TEACHERS SICK AND, YOU KNOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE CAN DO IS TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS HEALTHY. AND IN SCHOOL IN FRONT OF OUR WORLD CLASS TEACHERS. SO THEY PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN. ALSO HELP MANAGE THE SHORTFALL, THE DISTRICT TEMPORARILY USES AN OUTSOURCED COMPANY. NOW SCHOOL LEADERS TODAY THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, STIGMAS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THIS JOB TITLE. BUT THEY SAY DESPITE ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS, THIS POSITION IS CRUCIAL TO THE SAFETY AND THE HEALTH OF STUDENTS AND NOT ONLY STUDENTS, BUT THEIR FAMILIES AND EVERY STAFF THAT ENTERS THESE DOORS IN ANDERSON. I’M MAYA PAYTON, WYFF NEWS FOUR. MAYA. THANK YOU. TURNING TO THE FORECAST TONIGHT AT SIX. ANOTHER HOT DAY OUTSIDE. METEOROLOGIST GRIFFIN HARDY IS HERE. GRIFFIN COOLING DOWN ANY TIME SOON FOR A TINY BIT FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. WILL FEEL A LITTLE LESS HUMID OUTSIDE AND WE’RE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF SEEING THAT TRANSITION WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT NOW PASSING THROUGH THE AREA RIGHT NOW OUTSIDE IN GREENVILLE GOT A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE SITTING RIGHT AT 90 DEGREES. WINDS ARE STILL COMING OUT OF THE WEST SOUTHWEST, BUT THAT IS TURNING TO NORTHWEST LATER THIS EVENING AND WE’RE ALREADY SEEING NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WHERE IT’S CERTAINLY COOLER. ONLY 73 IN CULLOWHEE, RIGHT NOW, 8384 TOWARDS ASHEVILLE. AND HENDERSONVILLE. MOST SPOTS IN THE UPSTATE SEE UP IN THE UPSTATE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. YOU CAN ALSO MAKE OUT WHERE THE WINDS HAVE SHIFTED BASED ON THE WAY THE CLOUDS ARE MOVING ON THE VISIBLE SATELLITE PICTURE. NOW, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? BECAUSE THE REMNANTS OF BERYL ARE BRINGING IN COOLER AIR FROM THE NORTHWEST. THERE IS WHAT’S LEFT OF BERYL, RIGHT THERE, MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND THE DRIER AIR COMING IN BACK BEHIND. THAT IS REALLY GIVING US A NICE, MUCH NEEDED BREAK FROM THE SUMMER HEAT AND THE SUMMER HUMIDITY, AS WELL AS THE SUMMER POP UP SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH NO CHANCE OF THAT FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. TONIGHT WE’LL KEEP THE MOSTLY CLEAR SKY STILL PRETTY WARM AT 9:00. AT 8276 BY MIDNIGHT, AND THEN CLOSE TO 70. IF NOT THE UPPER 60S BY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. SO A TAD BIT COOLER. NOT BY MUCH, BUT YOU’LL NOTICE IT WHEN YOU FIRST WALK OUT THE DOOR EARLY IN THE MORNING. SAME FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, MID 60S TO SOME SPOTS IN THE LOWER 60S WITH A CLEAR SKY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SO THE HUMIDITY STAYS PRETTY LOW FOR TONIGHT. AND TOMORROW GOES BACK UP A LITTLE BIT MORE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THAT SHOULD LEAD TO ISOLATED SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES AND HOTTER TEMPERATURES. MORE ON THAT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. WE NOW KNOW THE NAME OF A MAN WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY EASLEY POLICE. THE CORONER SAYS. NICHOLAS FERNANDEZ DIED MONDAY MORNING. AUTHORITIES SAY FERNANDEZ WAS ARMED WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND MADE THREATS AT THE TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY ON ROLLING HILL. CIRCLE SLED SAYS OFFICERS FOUND HIM OUTSIDE A NEARBY HOME, THEN ARMED WITH AN AX. THEY SAY AN OFFICER THEN SHOT HIM. HE DIED AT THE SCENE TONIGHT. A GREENVILLE POLICE OFFICER IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AFTER AUTHORITIES SAY THAT OFFICER WAS ASSAULTED BY A MAN. WE ARE TOLD IT HAPPENED ON GRACE STREET YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. OFFICERS SAY NICHOLAS LADSON IS FACING SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER WHILE RESISTING ARREST. THE OFFICER ASSAULTED WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BUT WAS DISCHARGED LAST NIGHT IN MCDOWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. WE HAVE NEW DETAILS ABOUT A PLANE CRASH THAT LEFT THREE SOUTH CAROLINIANS DEAD. WE ARE TOLD THE PLANE THAT CRASHED HAD BEEN LEASED TO SKYDIVE CAROLINA. THAT’S ACCORDING TO AIR STAR AVIATION. WE ARE TOLD IT WAS CONTRACTED ON SUNDAY FOR A JUMP IN MOUNTAIN CITY, TENNESSEE. THE PLANE DID NOT CRASH DURING A SKYDIVING JUMP, THOUGH OFFICIALS SAY ADAM PLUMMER, SCOTT GEORGE AND CHARLES MATHER JUNIOR WERE KILLED IN ANDERSON COUNTY. A WOMAN HAS DIED NEARLY THREE MONTHS AFTER A CRASH. IT HAPPENED BACK ON APRIL 16TH ON HIGHWAY 24 NEAR PRATER GIN ROAD, THE CORONER SAYS. JESSICA GOOLSBY CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD, HIT A CULVERT AND OVERTURNED. SHE WAS AIRLIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO HOSPICE CARE. WE’RE TOLD GOOLSBY DIED MONDAY MORNING. A NEW PROGRAM IS HELPING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GET COLLEGE CREDIT TOWARD A NURSING DEGREE. IT’S PART OF A GRANT USC UPSTATE JUST RECEIVED, AND THEY ARE TESTING OUT THIS OPPORTUNITY WITH DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL TO NICOLE. PENIX JOINS US NOW WITH HOW THE COLLEGE HOPES TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO OTHER SCHOOLS. I’M HERE AT USC UPSTATE, WHERE I SPOKE TO THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF NURSING AND SHE TELLS ME THEY HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS PILOT PROGRAM. THE MARY BLACK COLLEGE OF NURSING AND THE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY RECEIVED A $120,000 GRANT. LEADERS WILL USE THAT MONEY FOR CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY COURSES AT DORMAN HIGH TO GET COLLEGE CREDIT TOWARDS A NURSING DEGREE, STUDENTS NEED TO PASS THE TWO COURSES AND IF THEY WANT TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER, THEY CAN BECOME SECOND SEMESTER FRESHMEN BY TAKING ADDITIONAL CLASSES IN COURSES LIKE ENGLISH, COLLEGE MATH AND COMPUTER SCIENCES. THIS PILOT PROGRAM WILL NOT ONLY HELP THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT, BUT IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. THEY’RE PROJECTING A NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 NURSES OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS. HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. SO BEING ABLE TO GET THESE STUDENTS IN OUR PROGRAM AND DECREASE IN TIME AND COST TO DEGREE COMPLETION IS REALLY GOING TO HELP SUPPORT THEM AS AS WELL AS THE WORKFORCE. THE EXPECTED TIME FOR COURSES TO BE OFFERED TO STUDENTS AT DORMAN HIGH IS FALL 2025, AND IF THE PROGRAM PROVES TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THEY PLAN TO EXPAND THE DUAL CREDIT COURSES TO OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE AREA. AND THEY TELL ME THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH ONE SPARTANBURG, INC. REPORTING IN SPARTANBURG, TANIQUA PENNIX WYFF NEWS FOUR IN GREENVILLE COUNTY, MANUFACTURING COMPANY, MP HUSKEY IS EXPANDING ITS OPERATIONS. THE $11.1 MILLION EXPANSION WILL CREATE 35 NEW JOBS. THE COMPANY MAKES CABLE SUPPORT AND POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS. MP HUSKY WILL INVEST IN NEW EQUIPMENT AND EXPAND ITS EXISTING FACILITY, LOCATED ON OLD STAGE ROAD IN MALDEN. OPERATIO
