The South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA) on Friday filed a lawsuit requesting that the state Supreme Court order Governor Mark Sanford to comply with the state budget by applying for stimulus money to be distributed to school districts, universities, and various state agencies.
The SCASA said in a release, "The Governor's continued failure to act will lead directly to the termination of teachers, larger class-sizes, and an overall weakening of the schools' ability to provide an educational program that meets the high academic performance standards of State law."
SCASA joined State Superintendent Jim Rex as a party in the lawsuit.
“Our organization deeply regrets that we have to go to these drastic measures to receive funding that our students and citizens deserve," said SCASA President John Tindal.
