Hi everyone —
The next South Carolina Charter School District meeting is this week, on Thursday, November 30 at 9am.
The current charter school district has been hostile to our schools. Between leaking documents to the press in order to harm the reputation of charter schools, ignoring parent input, and threatening to shut down schools that have been a lifesaver for thousands of South Carolina students, it’s time for a change.
The School Board will vote on November 30 to release schools to a new School District at Erskine College. If you support this move in order to SAVE OUR SCHOOLS, YOU SHOULD ATTEND THIS MEETING.
Please email if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Kerry Levi and the SC PSO Team
Our Next Meeting
December 5th is Marco's Pizza Fundraiser day.
