The Senate Finance Committee backed a bill allowing up to 750 million dollars in state bonds over three years to fund renovation or construction of schools. The plan, supported by Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum and State Treasurer Grady Patterson, aims to cover over 4 billion dollars in district needs while keeping property taxes in check. The measure requires at least 250 million dollars annually from the general fund. Dr Bill Gallman of Aiken County praised the move as long overdue and vital to address rising student numbers and teacher shortages.
