AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE LEVY AND DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOL TAXES IN YORK COUNTY.

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

Tax levy

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in York County, for the year 1980 only, the auditor shall levy a tax of thirty-nine and one-half mills for school purposes to be distributed as follows:

A. The proceeds from twenty mills shall be distributed to all school districts in proportion to the ratio which each school district's one hundred and thirty-five day enrollment (average daily membership) bears to the one hundred and thirty-five day enrollment (average daily membership) in the county; provided, however, that enrollment in parochial schools or other nonpublic schools shall not be counted and shall not be allowed the use of any of the proceeds of the tax imposed in this act; provided, further, that the annual appropriations for the operation of the county board of education shall be paid from the proceeds of this initial twenty mill levy.

B. The proceeds from nineteen and one-half mills shall be distributed as follows: twenty-eight percent to School District No. 1; eighteen percent to School District No. 2; forty percent to School District No. 3; fourteen percent to School District No. 4.
