The SC Supreme Court ruled casino boats operating from South Carolina need not report monthly gross proceeds or payouts to the Revenue Department.

Pilot sites include an elementary school in Gresham and a Mullins early childhood center. State Education Superintendent Jion Rex says early tech access will aid future school success.
