Legislative Wins for South Carolina Charter Schools

There are moments when the work happening behind the scenes finally steps into the spotlight, and this episode of Kids First is one of them. Host Keven Cohen sits down with South Carolina Public Charter School District Superintendent Chris Neeley to break down a legislative session that delivered some meaningful wins for charter schools, students, and taxpayers across the state. From a landmark accountability bill seven years in the making to sweeping changes in how the South Carolina High School League is governed, the conversation covers ground that affects every family with a child in a public school.The discussion also takes on one of the more thought-provoking policy shifts to come out of this session, the elimination of grade floors in South Carolina schools. No more automatic 50s for unfinished work. No more cushion for missing assignments. Just a return to the idea that grades should reflect what a student actually earns. Keven and Chris bring their signature passion and candor to all of it, making the case that accountability is not a burden; it is the foundation on which everything else is built.🔗 Learn more: sccharter.org Hosted on Acast.
