Budget cuts threaten Aiken district programs and taxes

The State Budget and Control Board imposed an immediate one percent cut and sequestered 1.5 percent amid revenue shortfalls, shrinking funds for Aiken County schools. Officials warn a seven-mill levy may be needed to sustain programs, while state base funding per student has fallen from 1999 levels. Local leaders urge protecting classrooms across the state amid broader district belt-tightening.
