Cost of State EIA Over $2 Million Above Estimate
GREENVILLE AP School districts facing the Education Improvement Act will spend about 5.5 million for extra teachers, over 2 million more than earlier estimates, and 3.7 million more for classroom space. The ESA requires limits on class sizes in grades seven through twelve in districts above 9,000 students, with 21 of 92 districts already affected. The State Department had estimated 3.09 million for new teachers, not including space costs, but the School Boards Association's survey shows 5.5 million for teachers and 3.7 million for space, with Sumter district potentially adding costs if enrollment crosses the threshold.
