Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Area advisory councils; local policies; administrative areas; area superintendents

SECTION    1.    Sections 15 and 16 of Act 503 of 1982 are amended to read:

"Section    15.    The area advisory councils may determine local policies in their respective administrative areas; provided, such policies are not inconsistent with the policies set forth by the county board of education. The county board of education may delegate additional authority to the area advisory councils to the extent necessary for the effective operation of the public schools in the county.

Patrons of the schools in each administrative area shall present their grievances to their area advisory council through their area superintendent. Appeals may be made to the county board of education.

Section    16.    Each of the administrative areas may have an area superintendent appointed by the county board of education upon recommendation of the district superintendent. Each area superintendent shall be responsible to the district superintendent for the operation of the schools within his area and the annual preparation of a proposed classified budget for the operation of the schools in his administrative area. The area superintendent shall have supervisory control over the expenditure of funds allocated to his area. Each area superintendent shall recommend to the district superintendent for nomination to the county board for employment those school personnel whose services are required to his administrative area. The area superintendents may be delegated additional authority as deemed necessary in consultation with the district superintendent of schools by the county board of education."
