In North Charleston, many school discipline decisions are being overturned. Charleston County School District’s protocol assigns constituent boards to handle student discipline cases, including those involving assault, drug offenses, and weapons. The district’s Board of Trustees can overturn these decisions if they are appealed. Documents show that in the 2023-2024 school year, there were 27 appeals, the same number as in the previous year, with over half coming from District Four. This suggests a high rate of overturning discipline decisions across the district.
