February 19, 2026
The Charleston County School District (CCSD) announced the launch of the CFO’s Financial Support Roundtable, a new initiative aligned with the Financial Services Strategic Plan that went into effect July 1, 2025.
This roundtable reflects CCSD’s continued commitment to transparency, collaboration, and exceptional internal customer service across the district.
As part of the Strategic Plan, Financial Services has identified strengthening communication and elevating frontline perspectives as key priorities. The CFO’s Financial Support Roundtable will bring together 15 representatives from key financial support roles across the district, including school-based bookkeepers and central office administrative support staff.
The roundtable will:
- Serve as an advisory group to the Chief Financial Officer and senior Financial Services leadership
- Provide insight into day-to-day financial operations and challenges
- Elevate opportunities for improvement across departments
- Strengthen collaboration and communication among financial support teams
- Advance the district’s shared goal of improved internal customer service
- Interface with leadership across all Financial Services departments
The group will meet monthly for one year, alternating between virtual meetings and in-person sessions at 75 Calhoun Street. The first meeting will convene in May 2026.
“This roundtable reflects our commitment to listening and leading with transparency,” said CCSD Chief Financial Officer Daniel Prentice. “When we bring the right people to the table and create space for honest dialogue, we strengthen our systems. By creating a structured space for collaboration and feedback, we are strengthening our ability to serve principals, teachers, and ultimately our students.”
“The strongest organizations are built by listening to the people doing the work every day,” said Superintendent Anita Huggins. “This roundtable ensures their voices are not only heard, but actively shape how we serve our schools and support student success.”
The CFO’s Financial Support Roundtable represents another meaningful step in implementing CCSD’s Financial Strategic Plan and ensuring that operational excellence supports high-quality instruction in every classroom.
