Former South Carolina Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum has joined a Columbia law firm, but she'll still be working on education issues.
The State newspaper of Columbia reported Wednesday that Tenenbaum has jointed the McNair Law firm.
The newspaper reported Tenenbaum will work on financial matters, such as bond referendums for school districts seeking to build or renovate schools.
Tenenbaum was state education superintendent from 1999 to 2003. She says she's missed working with school officials.
Managing partner Bill Youngblood says the McNair law firm has represented about 60 of the state's 85 school districts on financial issues in the past five years.
Youngblood says Tenenbaum brings the firm intellect, institutional memory about public education and an understanding of government.
