Charleston County School District continues to work with the JB Charleston to provide access to quality educational programs for our resident children. To clear up any misconceptions, and to help those moving throughout the housing community, the following information is provided for Air Base residents with school age children: (Be aware to check transportation availability before making any changes to school assignments)
· Some schools have uniform requirements. These can be found at

· Current base residents with children attending Hunley Park may continue to attend Hunley Park Elementary regardless of their location in the Air Base housing.
· All new residents to the housing community may elect to have their elementary school age children attend either Lambs or Hunley Park Elementary.
· There is no district transportation provided from the housing area to Hunley Park Elementary.
· Air Base residents arriving after Dec. 2013 have extended application deadlines for "choice" schools in the district. Please contact the School Liaison Office for more information, or look under the "Military Families" link on the CCSD Web page for the application.
