Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan provided the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees on March 27 its first look at a proposed 2018-19 budget that would go into effect on July 1. Morgan broke his presentation into three sections: a balanced $87.5 million budget, representing a 3.7 percent increase from the current budget; an unbalanced budget with $510,000 of additional teaching and teaching assistant positions; and, finally, a list of unmet needs. The balanced and unbalanced budgets both reflect a projected enrollment of 10,620 students, 75 more students than currently enrolled.
