John's Island, Kiawah Island and
Seabrook Island
Like James Island, John's Island is
benefiting from road and bridge
expansions. Today, the short drive
to downtown and West Ashley is
bringing more residents to Johns
Island. In new communities and
established neighborhoods, home
prices start around $300,000.
Waterfront properties with deep
water access cost in the millions.
Development has been slower and its
maritime forest vegetation and
beautiful live oaks give the island
a perfect spot for relaxed living.
Only 21 miles from Charleston is
Kiawah Island, a 10,000-acre private
residential resort community
renowned for its natural beauty and
environmentally responsible
development. From villas and
cottages starting around $300,000 to
multi-million dollar oceanfront
homes, Kiawah Island attracts some
of the world's famous and affluent
people.
North Charleston
Geographically, North Charleston is
the third largest city in the state
with a population of over 80,000.
The area's commercial business is
booming with quick access to I-26,
I-526 and Charleston International
Airport.
Homes on the Ashley River with
deep-water access cost in the
millions. Older homes in established
neighborhoods can cost less than
$100,000 and some of the new
construction starts around $130,000.
In many of the new neighborhoods,
developers have integrated fitness
centers, jogging trails, parks and
community centers. Overall, North
Charleston house prices are less
expensive than other areas.
Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and
Summerville
It is said that Goose Creek, Moncks
Corner and Summerville are towns
that still possess natural beauty
and a rare sense of community that
is hard to find in today's world. So
it is no surprise that these
qualities, along with the convenient
location off of I-26 just north and
west of Charleston, that have made
Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and
Summerville some of the hottest
housing areas in the region. It's a
desirable region whether you're
looking for land, a charming
historic home, or a brand new
starter home. Rest assured,
affordable housing is abundant (the
average home price in the region is
$127,500) and there are many new
starter neighborhoods from which to
choose.
Our Mission. Happy Families
There are a lot of choices out there
when it comes to finding your dream
home, and all you can do is take
some time to a look at them all. See
which neighborhood best fits you and
your family. Find out whether you'd
like to live in a brand spanking new
house, or one that has lived a
little. One thing is for sure, you
will have a great time investigating
all the housing options, and get to
know your new hometown while you are
at it.
The Charleston area is comprised of
four public school districts:
Berkeley County School District,
Charleston County School District,
and Dorchester County School
District Two and District Four. More
than 88,700 students are educated in
134 schools. Forty percent of the
region's teachers have earned a
master's degree while an additional
16 percent possess a six-year
certificate or doctoral degree. All
four school districts strive for
educational excellence and each has
distinguished itself with a variety
of achievements and awards.
Another 11,200 students attend the
75 private and parochial schools in
the region. In Berkeley County, SAT
scores continue to improve. The
composite score of college bound
seniors rose 58 points over the past
five years. More than 12,000
classroom computers have access to
the Internet making this one of the
state's most up-to-date districts in
current technology. The district's
instructional program combines
proven best practices and the
necessary teacher training to ensure
curriculum effectiveness.
The district has set the standard in
other areas as well: teacher
evaluation, career planning and
computer technology. Last year 18
graduate level courses were offered
to Berkeley County teachers while
many other workshops and staff
development activities were also
available. Its Teacher Forum is one
of the most active in the state and
has served as a state model for
leadership development. The $192
million bond referendum that passed
in 1999 paid for the renovation of
17 schools and the building of three
new schools. New building and
renovation needs are currently being
addressed.
Charleston County School District is
divided into eight Constituent
Districts. The districts educate
approximately 48,500 Pre-K through
12th grade students in 42 elementary
schools, 13 middle schools, eight
high schools, 12 magnet schools,
four charter schools, and eight
programs. With more than 3,200
teachers, Charleston is the second
largest school system in S.C. and
one of the area's top employers.
Charleston County School District
has embarked on a five-year, $365
million building program, which is
seeing dramatic facility
improvements. When complete, the
plan will include four new high
schools, two new elementary schools,
and numerous school renovations and
additions touching every community
the district serves. The first of
these new schools, West Ashley High
School, opened in August 2001 and is
considered the flagship facility in
the district's building program.
Following the example of the State
Department of Education, Charleston
County School District has embraced
accountability as the key to
effective public education. The
district's commitment began in 1998
when it became the first public
school system in S.C. to publish
report cards about its schools. In
addition to providing quality
education to Charleston County
students, the school district
strives to remain an important part
of the overall community through
programs such as continuing
education, the Gold Pass Club,
parent resources, and emergency
shelter locations.
High expectations for all students,
a quality teaching and support
staff, and strong parental and
community involvement make
Dorchester School District Two one
of the leading and fastest growing
school districts in the state. The
district serves over 17,000 students
in nine elementary schools, five
middle schools, and two high
schools. District Two also operates
the Givhans School, an adult
education center that received the
U.S. Secretary of Education's Award
for the Top Ten Adult Education
Programs in the nation.
The S.C. Association of Public
Charter Schools presented Dorchester
School District Two with the Public
Charter School District of the Year
Award and named its assistant
superintendent as School District
Administrator of the Year for 2005.
The district was also selected by
Money magazine as one of the top 100
school districts in the nation. More
than 400 business partnerships and
2,500 volunteers in the district
helped it earn this coveted
designation. Five schools in
Dorchester District Two have been
named "Palmetto's Finest" schools
and three have been recognized as
National Blue Ribbon Schools.
All schools in Dorchester Four are
accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools.
Serving approximately 2,600 students
in Pre-K through Adult Education,
the district has the highest
percentage of teachers with advanced
degrees and the most per pupil
expenditure. District Four offers
gifted and talented education,
special needs services, vocational
training, and a wide array of core
curricula and extra-curricula
programs, artistic and athletic
programs. District Four's mission is
to develop successful citizens in an
environment conducive to learning by
providing challenging experiences
and promoting character development.
Challenging educational programs and
utilization of available resources
make this mission a reality for its
students.
Helping students prepare for life
after high school is imperative to
their success. Whether a high school
senior is bound for a two-year
college, a four-year college, or the
work force, he or she must possess
the skills and abilities necessary
for future success. The
School-to-Work Transition Act was
passed in 1994 in recognition of
changing work force demands. It
allows school districts to implement
a system that prepares students for
the work force. A major component of
the program is the fostering of
partnerships between schools and
businesses. Throughout the region,
businesses are working with
students, teachers and
administrators to prepare students
for the careers of the future.
School-to-Work initiatives give
businesses the opportunity to work
with local schools and prepare
students for successful careers.
Employers benefit from an increased
number of qualified applicants.
Community involvement with area
schools is important to residents.
This commitment is demonstrated in
various ways: bond referendums,
classroom volunteers, Junior
Achievement programs with area
businesses, strong parent-teacher
association involvement, and the
encouragement of student and
resident participation in community
service projects. The Metro area
also promotes continuing education,
as many of the region's school
districts sponsor classes for
adults. The course list has
everything from the art of
calligraphy to basic auto mechanics.

allow employees and self-employed
persons to deduct certain moving
expenses if the move is job related.
To qualify for these deductions,
your new workplace must be at least
50 miles further from your old home
than your old home was from your
former workplace. If you meet the
IRS deduction requirements, call the
local IRS office and request
Publication 521, Moving Expenses.
The following can be deducted:
. Cost of moving household goods and
personal effects from a former home
to a new home.

. Tools and personal items - pain
relievers, can openers, hammer,
silverware, paper plates,
screwdriver, flashlight and

new home.
. Compare the cost and convenience
of moving yourself to hiring a
moving company.
. Most transport companies give a
free estimate based on the distance
of the move and the amount of cargo
hauled.
. Generally, the actual cost of a
move is calculated on the weight of
your shipment.
. Take inventory of all items being
moved. If the moving company damages
your belongings, a record is needed
in order to file a claim. CONFIRM
PICKUP AND ARRIVAL DATES IN ADVANCE
. Find a mover that guarantees
pickup and delivery dates. This
should be a part of the contract
signed with the mover.
Make sure liability insurance
coverage is included in the moving
contract. Most companies will insure
the shipment for a specified limit.

the continued economic development
of the region. As one of the fastest
growing sectors in the area, the
health care industry employs an
estimated 32,000 people locally. By

offering innovative services to
residents of the region, the area's
medical community is meeting the
challenge of a nationally growing
restructuring movement throughout
the health care industry. The
Charleston region has more than
2,000 physicians and 10 hospitals
that provide the highest level of
patient care in areas as diverse as
neonatal care and liver transplants.

1850 as the first community hospital
in the Carolinas. Roper Hospital and
Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital are
now united and form Roper St.
Francis Healthcare System, the
Lowcountry's first multi-site health
care system.
Also located downtown is the Medical
University of South Carolina's
campus and hospital, which according
to U.S. News & World Report, ranks
among the country's best hospitals.

annual budget exceeding $550 million
with a total economic impact on the
area of $1.2 billion annually. Its
six colleges educate more than 2,200
physicians, nurses, dentists,
pharmacists, and other health care
specialists each year.

specialized health care at
facilities like the Storm Memorial
Eye Institute, the MUSC Burn Center,
the MUSC Medicine and Rehabilitation
Center, the Hollings Cancer Center,
the MUSC Children's Hospital, the
MUSC Family Medical Center, and the
Ronald McDonald House. The medical
community is served by MEDUCARE, a
helicopter transport service that
extends across a 200-mile radius,
delivering patients to the region's
hospitals within 35 minutes.

great location, historical charm and
a variety of resources, the

counties, and stretches some 50
miles (80km) inland, with 90 miles
(145km) of oceanfront. With its
diverse economic mix and one of the
