## Resource

Charleston County School District is under fire after a damning State Inspector General report, prompting an outside audit of payments to Next Level Educational Services and the Circle of Life Foundation to uncover any mismanagement—and potentially recover lost funds. Beyond cleanup, the district is rolling out sweeping reforms: stricter vendor vetting, banning problematic contractors, mandatory annual conflict-of-interest disclosures for staff and board members, and a full corrective action plan aimed at rebuilding public trust. Superintendent Anita Huggins vows accountability and transparency, signaling a firm commitment to protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring every dollar serves students and staff—not loopholes or misconduct.
