Charleston County has the largest number of charter schools in South Carolina with its seven existing charter schools, and at least seven more groups want to form charter schools within the next few years. Growth is based on several factors, including resources. The school district has a staff member who is partially dedicated to working with charter schools, a position that few other districts have. County Schools Superintendent Nancy McGinley said the increasingly popularity means the district has work to do. The school district needs resolution on the state law applicable to Charleston that requires the district not to deny charter schools "anything that is otherwise available to a public school," she said. The law raises questions about what the school district must give to charter schools.
