Charleston RISE announces the launch of its new website
April 23, 2018
Charleston RISE, a grassroots parent-advocacy coalition that seeks great public schools for all children in the Charleston County School District (CCSD), is excited to announce the launch of its official website where parents, participants and the community can keep up and get involved in the work RISE is doing to improve public education.
Charleston RISE has created and maintained a large following on social media through its Facebook page which has allowed RISE to share statistics about the state of education in South Carolina and lead the conversation. Now, through the website, Charleston RISE will have a new capability in reaching people, sharing data and encouraging people to get involved.
“We’re really excited about the website because it creates a really great vehicle for us to engage the community and share our important research,” said Bradford Swann, executive director of Charleston RISE and SouthCarolinaCAN (which provides underwriting for RISE). “So much of what RISE does depends on the involvement of others – from our fellows to the community– and we hope this site will give them another way to stay involved and informed on all things related to public education in Charleston.”
People in the Lowcountry who are interested in participating in RISE can find more information at:
