EXPLANATION: School District Residence Boundaries
Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 1,
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, page 295, after line 4, by adding an
appropriately numbered paragraph to read:
/ (SDE: School District Residence Boundaries) For Fiscal
Year 2018-19, and with funds appropriated to local school
districts, upon the reestablishment of a portion or entirety of
a county boundary that impacts the school district boundary,
persons residing on the impacted property may continue to enroll
their children who previously attended a school in the district
until such time as the child graduates from high school, as long
as the child continuously resides at the same property until
graduation. For the purposes of this section,
"children" includes those children who are residing
with their legal guardians whose property is impacted by a
county boundary reestablishment in conflict with the immediate
prior school district boundary. This proviso only applies to
those persons residing on the impacted property and their
children who reside with them. Once those persons move from the
property or no longer have children living in the residence who
are attending or will attend schools in the South Carolina K-12
public education system, this proviso no longer applies to that
property. A district may draw down State and Federal funding for
students enrolled under this section. A local board of trustees
of the district where a student is being allowed to attend
pursuant to this proviso shall determine the charge a student
must pay for any bonded indebtedness that student would normally
pay if they resided in the district. This proviso does not
require the former resident of a county to continue enrollment
of their children in school in the county in which their
property was located before the reestablishment. /
