Rex defeated Floyd by only 455 votes, the closest margin of victory in a statewide election in South Carolina's history. He was sworn-in as Superintendent on January 10, 2007, replacing fellow Democrat Inez Tenenbaum."@en . . . . . . . . . . "16thSouth Carolina Superintendent of Education" . "Rex, Jim"@en . .
