Gov.

"It's absolutely critical that our students, teacher, administrators, and other school employees are provided the resources they need to operate our schools in the safest possible way," said Gov. Henry McMaster. "We're proud to be in Kershaw today to celebrate this important investment."

In total, 70 school districts requested PPE.

Of those 70, 25 requested plexi-glass desk shields.
