The bill H. 4397 seeks to amend Act 602 of 1992 concerning the governance of the Greenville County School District. The primary 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 legislation aims to enhance accountability and oversight of the school district's budgetary process by involving the county council in the approval process. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor, marking a significant shift in how the financial operations of the Greenville County School District are managed.
