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

SECTION    1.    Section 4 of Act 470 of 1971, as last amended by Act 797 of 1988, is further amended to read:

"Section 4.    (A)    The board has all powers provided in Section 59-19-90 of the 1976 Code insofar as they may be applicable. It may use any school building without cost in either school district available for its purposes. It may direct the county auditor to levy taxes to operate the school, to construct buildings, and to pay the expenses of the school if approval is first obtained from the county commission council for any such tax levy.

(B)    Notwithstanding the above provisions of this section, beginning July 1, 2006, and ending June 30, 2009, the board of trustees for the career center shall become an advisory board to the boards of trustees of Sumter School Districts 17 and Two and the duties, powers, and functions of the board of trustees of the career center are devolved jointly upon the board of trustees of Sumter School Districts 17 and Two during the period July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2009. In addition to the members of the board of trustees of the career center who become members of the advisory board pursuant to this subsection, one member of the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce and one member of the Sumter County Industrial Association, both of whom must be designated by their respective organizations, shall serve on the advisory board; however, as of July 1, 2009, the membership of the board of trustees of the career center reverts to the membership of that board as it was constituted June 30, 2006."

SECTION    2.    Section 5 of Act 470 of 1971, as last amended by Act 797 of 1988, is further amended to read:

"Section 5.    The board shall employ a director of the center who shall serve as supervisor and fiscal agent of the school under the direction of the board. However, beginning July 1, 2006, the Superintendents of Sumter School District 17 and Two shall together employ the director of the center who shall serve under their direction."
