Report on John de la Howe School
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
Abstract
In 2018, John de la Howe School (JDLHS) began a transition to become the Governor’s School for Agriculture at John de la Howe as outlined in a feasibility study authorized by proviso. The school is expected to open in the fall of 2020, and the board is continuing with the services of the Student-Centered Education Consulting Group (SCECG) who prepared the feasibility study to assist in the transition. Determining the projected costs to bring about the school and the timeline to implement the program of
studies are essential elements which should be provided by SCECG to the JDLHS board of trustees and leadership as soon as possible. With the assistance of SCECG, the board of trustees and leadership of JDLHS should develop written short- and long-range plans for repairing and upgrading the facilities. The board of trustees should initiate an action in the circuit court of McCormick County under §62-7-412 and 413 so that the court can determine whether the transition of the school will be consistent with the terms of the will of Dr. John de la Howe. In addition, the board of trustees and school officials should divest the
school of operating and maintaining its own electrical system by working with a local electric cooperative or company who can take over the ownership of the system.
