Education chief warns funding could trigger lawsuit over school spending
Columbia South Carolina Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum says the state is falling far behind the Education Finance Act funding per student and that the House budget fails to meet a 1996 law requiring education funding before property tax relief. She argues the formula is not followed and rural districts suffer as more affluent ones rely on local taxes to bridge gaps. House leaders defend the funding level as compliant with the act, insisting education remains a top priority.
