COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Gov. Nikki Haley says her proposed budget for the next fiscal year increases money for public schools. But a closer look shows her recommendations would actually decrease state funding by nearly $80 million.
The Republican governor is correct only by disregarding some pots of money. Her proposal represents an increase in recurring money for K-12 schools, when factoring in all state revenue sources - chiefly, the penny of the state sales tax that goes directly to education programs.
However, Haley's proposal eliminates anything funded this school year with one-time money.
That includes $56 million legislators added to the budget to boost a key funding source that pays primarily for teacher salaries - money they added over her veto.
The full House budget-writing committee will begin debating the budget this week.
