Funding

How South Carolina funds schools

South Carolina funds districts through State Aid to Classrooms (SAC), which folded the old Education Finance Act and Education Improvement Act money into one weighted model. Rather than a flat base student cost, SAC funds a district’s weighted student count against the statewide average teacher cost (about $75,891, roughly $6,776 per pupil), adding weights for poverty, English learners and disability, with each district’s state-versus-local share set by its Index of Taxpaying Ability.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Spartanburg 04 School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

South Carolina accredits public districts itself: the Department of Education holds them to the Defined Program under State Board Regulation 43-300, and a district may instead use an accepted external accreditor such as Cognia. See the South Carolina Department of Education for a district’s accreditation status.
