In response to a proposal by the Coastal Community Foundation to revamp over 20 schools in Charleston County that are considered “underperforming,” State Representative Marvin Pendarvis (D-Charleston) released the following statement:
“I’m concerned by the proposal to ‘reimagine’ 23 of Charleston’s public schools by an entity that has no experience with school operations. The $32 million in this proposal should go directly to the schools, not an outside organization that I do not believe is fit for the job. Meaningful investments in education will improve these schools, not privatization.”
