Last time the Pickens County School Board met, they spent $100,000 on outdated calculators. I was told by a School Board member that they are required by the State to take their test. I believe that the State should furnish anything they require to take one of their tests. That $100,000 could have been used in this County to help a lot of people. The State is responsible for education funding. 5% of sales tax and the education lottery were hoodwinked to us, the citizens, to pay for such things. Think of the number of things we could buy with $100,000 that would help this County. Call Senator Martin and tell him to stop the State government from throwing school funding off on the County.
