CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Some state lawmakers are pushing to expand schools of choice in South Carolina under a new designation called âschools of innovation.â
Schools of innovation are funded and run through partnerships with public school districts and private companies or contributors. However, some opponents worry these efforts will hurt students in public schools that are already struggling for more resources.
Many supporters of this expansion of public and private partnerships for schools look to Charleston County School Districtâs Meeting Street schools as shining examples.
