Charter School Accountability Act amends South Carolina's charter school laws to enhance governance, accountability, and transparency.

The Charter School Accountability Act revises South Carolina's charter school laws to improve governance, accountability, and transparency. It mandates that charter schools adhere to the same health, safety, civil rights, and disability rights requirements as traditional public schools. Charter schools must post their annual audits on their websites and notify their authorizers of any education management contracts. The act also requires charter schools to provide a corrective action plan if they fail to meet performance standards.
