Vanishing bailout cash reshapes South Carolina school budgets
South Carolina faces large budget cuts as more than 923 million dollars in federal bailout funds vanish next year. Public schools would revert to 1995 funding levels without 174 million in federal stabilization money, while colleges lose about a fifth of their 413.7 million state budget though 86.6 million in bailout funds offset the impact for now.
