Governor Nikki R. Haley's State of the State Address

PROPOSALS

Schools of Choice - Charter Schools
-- Support charter school expansion and do not cut spending.

Transportation
-- Give local school districts more control over school buses.

Postsecondary - Finance
-- Evolve the way higher education is funded. The intention is twofold: reward the schools that well-serve our students while providing real motivation for those that need to improve.
-- Adopt a new accountability-based funding formula for higher education, based on merit and accountability, not on which school is the most popular.
