Panel: $103 n
By The Associated Press
An ad hoc panel on education said Tuesday the
state's General Fund would have to provide about
$103 million more next year to ensure each child has
a reasonable chance for a quality education.
Also, a $14 million increase to update textbooks is
needed, according to the South Carolina BusinessEducation
Subcommittee of the Education Improvement
Act and "Target 2000."
States failing to make sure all school districts get
enough money for quality education have had substantial
legal problems, said the panel's executive director,
Terry Peterson.
Increasing the fund would help districts with low
property tax bases better educate students, he said.
The subcommittee approved several recommendations
for 1992-93 education budgets Tuesday, but said
more work was needed before presenting them to
lawmakers.
The group also agreed that several early childhood
programs should be consolidated because most aim al
the same general principals of education.
Money would be taken from the separate programs
and lumped together. That should allow for more
equal distribution of programs statewide, Peterson
said.

"Often now, you get this real fragmented service
for children," he said.
The panel also would like to consolidate four separate
grants that help with dropout prevention and
teacher training.
"Some of these have worked pretty good, but
they're narrowly focused on one little problem,"
Peterson said.
Combining the money from the grants into one fund MM
would allow schools to address several problems at
the same time, he said. It would also give more 1
schools a chance to get the grants.
The panel proposed $7.5 million be put in the consolidated
fund in addition to the $9.6 million already
allotted to the four separate grant programs. That j|
would mean $17.1 million earmarked for restructuring V
schools and solving major problems.
The subcommittee also suggested $18 million be
i put back in the General Fund that was borrowed from
the Education Improvement Act for the building fund
this year.
On another issue, state Superintendent of Education
Barbara Nielsen told the panel the school system
needs to be changed to encourage students to take
more challenging courses.
