Charter School Board Governance Resources

SC Charter School Governing Board Orientation

South Carolina Law requires that all charter school governing board members attend board orientation within a year of being elected. This basic training is provided for free by the S.C. Department of Education through the Office of School Transformation. This training meets the minimum requirements of the state mandates. You can familiarize yourself with the SC Charter Law here.

The Public Charter School Alliance of South Carolina can provide additional and more in-depth board training to all public charter school board members as part of our mission. Please visit our Board Training page for more information.
