Here's the official buzz on the school funding I mentioned once before.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The Greenville County School Board on Monday approved a $430 million budget for next year.
Trustees voted for the plan that includes additional teachers and school employees to accommodate 1,500 new students and provides raises for existing teachers and staff.
School officials pointed to the fact that the budget does not include a tax increase to make ends meet.
A new state funding system replaces property tax money with funds from an increased state sales tax to pay for school operations.
In addition to new teachers and staff, the budget also includes additional funding for high school bands, district-wide technology upgrades and global positioning systems for school buses.
