      Superintendent


      Charleston County School District's (CCSD) Board of Trustees voted to name Dr. Eric Gallien, the Superintendent of Schools effective July 1, 2023. Dr. Gallien is the highest paid CCSD employee in history with a contracted salary of $275,000 with a 2% increase every year. Dr. Gallien is making $28,405 more than former superintendent Kennedy.

      On September 25, 2023 the board of education placed Dr. Gallien on paid administrative leave pending investigation and put Mrs. Huggins in the position pending investigation.
      On October 27, 2023 the board and Dr. Gallien entered an agreement to release the contract between Dr. Gallien and the school district. Deputy superintendent Huggins, who was serving as superintendent, was named Acting Superintendent until a superintendent search is conducted some time in 2024.


      Board of trustees


      The Charleston County School Board is composed of nine local members, each elected for a four-year term. Elections are held in November of even-numbered years. Charleston County School District's Superintendent, Donald R. Kennedy, Sr., serves as the executive secretary for the board of trustees.
      Board of trustees members are elected countywide in non-partisan elections representing constituent districts as follows: two members from Districts 1 and 2, three members from Districts 3, 9, 10 and 23; and one member from District 20. In November 2020, five seats were filled for two-year terms to join the remaining four seats.
      The board transited term to single-member districts in November 2022. Beginning in November 2022, all nine seats will be elected from non-partisan single-member districts with a combination of four-year and two-year terms. By November 2024, all seats will serve four-year terms.
      The board meetings are held at 75 Calhoun Street, Charleston.


      Human resources


      CCSD's goal is to provide prospective applicants with a wide variety of recruitment-related resources to assist them in their search for employment.


      Constituent districts


      Charleston County School district was created by South Carolina Act 340 of the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967. The "Act of Consolidation" took the eight separate school districts and put them under a county-wide district to equally fund education in all areas of the county. The former independent school districts remain as constituent school districts within the structure of the Charleston County School district, with their own school boards and duties.
