Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth examination of South Carolina’s educational budget for the year 2023, focusing on both the K-12 and higher education sectors. As a critical aspect of the state’s commitment to fostering a robust and equitable education system, the allocation and utilization of financial resources play a pivotal role in shaping the quality of education provided to students. In the K-12 sector, this study highlights the budgetary priorities set forth by the state government, such as increasing teacher base pay, expanding full-day 4k programs for at-risk children, placing more school resource officers in schools, and funding computer science and coding instruction. Regarding higher education, this research highlights decreased funding for needs-based grants, tuition mitigation, and funding to mitigate instructor shortages in nursing schools.
