Demise of Prestige Prep While CCSD's Fraser Building Sits Empty

Did the Charleston County School District set up Prestige Prep Academy for deliberate failure? That's what you should be asking yourself about the latest failing charter school sponsored by CCSD.

Despite our local fish wrapper's long article on its woes, nowhere does the reporter mention the school's failure to obtain a viable school building in the district. Where the school now meets, traffic is unbearable and facilities not stellar. 

Yet day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year the Fraser school building sits rotting away, draining district resources while providing no income.

How long, oh Lord, how long?

Why? Why shouldn't a district-sponsored public charter school rent a public school building paid for by the taxpayers? Prestige was doomed when it couldn't find a better facility. 

The foregoing reveals how CCSD cares for its facilities. It must be waiting for the right buyer to build another hotel on the property. 

While we're on the subject, when is the district going to provide busing for its public charter schools? 

We're all about fairness and diversity, aren't we? Aren't we?
