Both county parties publicly censure Cherokee County school board over charter denial
Summary
Representatives of the Cherokee County Republican and Democratic parties used public comment to present identical censure resolutions criticizing the board for denying a charter school application and urging greater transparency and accountability.
During the public‑comment portion of the June 8 meeting, representatives of both the Cherokee County Republican Party and the Cherokee County Democratic Party presented formal censure resolutions calling for the board to recommit to transparency and to prioritize students.
A Republican Party chair said the party “hereby censures the members of the Cherokee County School District board of trustees” and listed grievances including the board’s unanimous denial of a charter application on April 20, 2026. A Democratic Party representative said the Democratic Party issued the same censure on the same day and described the action as a public reprimand intended to hold elected officials accountable.
Board members did not announce any formal response or corrective action at the meeting during the public‑comment period; the censure resolutions were entered into the public record by the presenters.
