School Choice Debate Faces Practical Hurdles
Charleston education leaders favor school choice but warn operational challenges loom. Superintendent Barba Nielsen cites crowding, unchosen schools, and fair access as issues, while stressing avoidance of racial segregation. The state Education Department studies integrated options including charter or tuition-based schools, noting tuition would be tough for poorer families. In Berkeley and Horry counties a 20 year old federal ruling restricting attendance line crossing remains a political issue with actions planned, including Aug 17 meetings and a nonbinding Aug 25 ballot referendum.
