School board weighs funding boost and taxes
The district may raise per pupil state funding to 1860 or 1880 as lawmakers consider a 54 per 100000 assessed value tax. Gov Haley could veto. Some speakers oppose the tax increase citing fixed incomes and business costs while a retiring teacher argues money won’t improve quality citing time and disruptive "interrupters" and wasteful technology. Board members note safety and facility upgrades and the use of technology in classrooms.
