§ 59-53-1850. Disbursement of funds.

Monies appropriated pursuant to Sections 59-53-1810 to 59-53-1870 must be paid out upon the order of the State Board of Education, duly countersigned and approved by the secretary of the State Board of Education, and itemized vouchers must be filed with the Comptroller General as in the case of other funds.

For high schools and joint career and technology schools having a career and technology agriculture program, monies appropriated for this purpose must be disbursed for use by the schools to conduct career and technology agriculture programs on a full-time twelve-month per year basis. The provisions of this section do not prohibit monies appropriated for career and technology agriculture to be used in programs of less than twelve months each year. The local school board shall decide whether all or part of its career and technology agricultural program is twelve months or less than twelve months after consideration of the local board's needs assessment for career and technology agriculture and the findings of the Clemson University's review of the local career and technology agricultural program.
