Description
The South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) is a non-profit voluntary association of independent schools. Founded originally on August 10, 1965, the State of South Carolina Incorporated the SCISA as an exclusively educational organization, with responsibilities to establish accreditation standards, coordinate athletic and academic competition, and raise funds for member organizations.
From a beginning of representatives from seven schools who attended the first organizational meeting in Orangeburg in 1965, the SCISA has grown to a membership for 1999-2000 of 90 schools with a total enrollment of approximately 28,000 students. The Association central office moved from its original location in Orangeburg to Summerville, then to Beaufort, to Columbia and finally to Orangeburg in 1999.
The governing authority of SCISA is a Board of Director, consisting of a representative from each member school and six Directors-at-Large. Officers of the SCISA are a Chairman of the Board, a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, and Treasurer. These officers are elected at the semi-annual meeting of the Board in the spring. In addition, there are a number of standing and special committees, all appointed by the President with approval of the Board, that develop and supervise particular programs for member schools. Supporting the organization in the Central office and responsible to the President is a full-time staff consisting of a Executive Secretary, an Athletic Secretary, an Administrative Secretary and a Secretary/Receptionist.
