The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is our way of listening and learning directly from families, especially those with children with disabilities, so we can advocate for stronger funding, better transportation access, and greater representation for charter school families across South Carolina.
Purple Star
As a Purple Star Designated District, we’re proud to stand behind our military families. From enrollment to everyday support, our schools are built to ease the challenges of frequent moves, connecting military-connected students to resources that help them feel at home and set them up to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Families and stakeholders are encouraged to visit the website of each charter school to access specific and up-to-date information on its selections. This ensures the most accurate and current details regarding materials available to students. For additional support or inquiries, please contact the respective charter school directly. To submit an Instructional Materials Complaint Form, please visit the respective school’s website.
