The bill H. 4397 proposes an amendment to Act 602 of 1992 concerning the governance of the Greenville County School District. The key change introduced by this bill is the requirement that the school district's budget must be approved by the Greenville County Council. This new provision mandates that the board of trustees of the district submit the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year to the county council by May 31st of each year, thereby establishing a formal oversight mechanism for the district's financial planning.

This amendment aims to enhance accountability and ensure that the budget aligns with the broader fiscal policies of the county. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Greenville Delegation and will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
