Abstract
This paper examines the structure and governance of public education in South Carolina at
both the state and local levels. We are particularly concerned with the local dimensions: the
number and sizes of districts, the size and composition of school boards, and the methods by
which either or both can be changed. We also consider the implications of this structure for
the ability of school districts to provide an adequate education to all their pupils and to do so in
a flexible but accountable manner that reflects and respects the different needs, backgrounds,
challenges and opportunities of their student populations.
