of Laws of 1976.
  Provided, Further, That the amount appropriated in this section
for Attendance Supervisors shall be used for the payment of
salaries of one supervisor for each county at the rate of $10,518
each per year plus the base pay increases awarded to state

of the prior year, provided that such funds must be used for

  Provided, Further, That the amount appropriated in this section
for County School Lunch Supervisors shall be used for the payment
of salaries of one supervisor for each county at the rate of
$10,518 each per year, plus the base pay increase awarded to

of the County Board of Education in multi-district counties, the
salary shall be proportionately distributed among the districts
of the county on the basis of the 35-day enrollment of the prior
year, provided that such funds must be used for the supervision
of the School Food Service Program.
  Provided, Further, That for the fiscal year 1982-83 the local
supplement to salaries of county School Lunch Supervisors and
School Attendance Supervisors shall not be reduced below
supplements paid in 1981-82.
  Provided, Further, That for the fiscal year 1982-83 the
compensation of school bus drivers shall be three dollars and

may be determined by the Budget and Control Board to be equitable
and of maximum benefit to those covered.
  Provided, Further, That it is the intent of the General
Assembly that the appropriation contained herein for "Public
School Employee Benefits" shall not be utilized to provide
employer contributions for any portion of a school district
employees salary which is federally funded.
  Provided, Further, That notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, the amounts appropriated in this section under "State

purposes, herein, and shall be the maximum paid to the aggregate
of recipients.
  Provided, Further, That the State Department of Education shall
develop and implement an internal system of accounting and
allocating the appropriation contained herein for "Fringe
Benefits-Public School Employees." The system shall internally
allocate the appropriation to the school districts or educational
subdivisions and shall be based on the formula as submitted by
the Committee to Study State Educational System.
  Provided, Further, That the Department of Education shall be
directed to equitably re-allocate such excess funds as may accrue
to certain school districts to the benefit of those school
districts receiving insufficient funding under this formula.
  Provided, Further, That in the event the Department of

allocation of state funds in amounts sufficient to meet the
districts fringe benefit obligations.
  Provided, Further, That the amount appropriated in this Section
for "Education Finance Act" shall be the maximum paid under the
provisions of Act 163 of 1977 (the South Carolina Education
Finance Act of 1977) to the aggregate of all recipients. The

  Provided, Further, That to the extent possible within available
funds, it is the intent of the General Assembly to provide for a

Education Finance Act. The base student cost at full
implementation is determined to be $1,056 which figure includes
an inflation rate of 7.1 percent for fiscal year 1982-83. Due to
the extension of the phase-in of the Education Finance Act by
one-year, the required standards of the Defined Minimum Program
to be implemented in 1982-83 will be extended to 1983-84.
  In the event that the formulas as devised by the Department of

appropriated for such purposes, subject to the provisions of this
proviso, the Department of Education shall reduce each school
district entitlement by an equal amount per weighted pupil unit
so as to bring the total disbursements into conformity with the
total funds appropriated for this purpose. If a reduction is

shall be reduced by the proportionate share of local funds per
weighted pupil unit. The Department of Education shall
continually monitor the distribution of funds under the
provisions of the Education Finance Act and shall make periodic

Department of Education for programs now being consolidated under
the South Carolina Education Finance Act of 1977 will be
disbursed to South Carolina Department of Youth Services by the
Department of Education from the appropriation provided in this
section and entitled "Education Finance Act". The amount to be
disbursed to South Carolina Department of Youth Services will be
sufficient to produce funds equal to the product of the number of
students served by Youth Services weighted according to the
criteria established by the South Carolina Department of
Education under the provisions of the South Carolina Education
Finance Act of 1977 and the state portion of the appropriated
value statewide of the base student cost. The South Carolina
Department of Youth Services shall comply with the following
provisions of Act 163 of 1977 (The Education Finance Act).
Section 5, paragraphs (3) and (4); Section 6, paragraphs (1),
(2), (3a), (4b, c, d, e, and f). The South Carolina Department of

to the provisions set forth in the South Carolina Education
Finance Act of 1977.

each class.
  Provided, Further, That the pupil-teacher ratio for grades 1
through 3 provided in the Education Finance Act of 1977 (Section

expenses of the County School Lunch Supervisor shall be paid from
this appropriation at the prevailing rate of mileage allowed by
the State. Provided, Further, That these funds may be used as an
aid in improving the School Lunch Program. At the close of each
fiscal year, the governing board receiving these funds shall
submit to the State Superintendent of Education an itemized
statement indicating the disposition of funds allotted under this
appropriation including balances carried forward from the
preceding year. Records of the disposition of these funds shall
be kept available for auditing by the State Department of
Education. Provided, Further, That in the absence of a County
Board of Education in multi-district counties, the funds will be
divided among the school districts of the county on the basis of

However, That a pupil shall be counted as enrolled only in the
first district, or operating unit, he legally attended.
  Provided, Further, That notwithstanding the amount appropriated
in this section for "School Building Aid", it is the intent of
the General Assembly that this appropriation shall be the
equivalent of the sum of (1) Thirty ($30.00) Dollars multiplied
by the number of pupils enrolled in the public schools of the
state and who have attended school for at least 35 days in the
school year 1981-82 and (2) Fifteen ($15.00) dollars multiplied
by the number of pupils enrolled in the state-financed

appropriately adjusted.

hereby authorized to sell used school buses that may be
determined to be no longer safe or economical in transporting
