2021 Ready to Open
Ms. Claire Porter outlined the status of this year's Ready to Open charter schools. She explained the minimum guidelines that must be met by schools planning to open in the fall (see image). CSAB made preliminary recommendations. At its June meeting, the board will make final recommendations and those will go to the State Board of Education for approval in July 2021. One RTO school, Davis Academy Chadbourn, relinquished its charter due to difficulties in obtaining a facility in Columbus County.
