SC Lottery
A shortfall in state lottery revenues means public schools won’t get any money from the lottery in March, officials said.
Lottery proceeds are down $5.5 million from July to January compared with the same period the year before. Districts got half of the money they were supposed to get in February, officials said.
The Charleston County School District receives about $287,000 per month in lottery money, but the delay in getting those funds shouldn’t be a problem, said Larry Clark, the district’s interim chief financial officer.
If the money were to go away completely, that would be more of a problem, he said. The district gets about $3.5 million a year in lottery money, and its operating budget this year is about $320 million.
The district will be able to continue operating as is until it gets the money, Clark said.
Dorchester District 2 receives an annual payment of more than $1.1 million in lottery funds and has a total budget of more than $128 million.
The district expects its March lottery payment of $140,950 will be delayed, and public relations director Pat Raynor said the district’s February lottery payment was reduced by nearly $23,500.
The delay won’t cause any program or staff cuts in March, but Raynor said officials will pay close attention to the situation and hope the funds can be returned by April.

Hey Sex offender; Take your $10 Million and move the hell out of your hysterical puritanical hyper-violent hypocritical country.Rape (even child rape) isnt as evil as murder. Yet, the US is killing tens of thousands of innocent children in Iraq.Whats with the BS moralizing?
That’ll shut him up.I’m a guy who’s attracted to Asian girls, so don’t worry, there is balance in the world.
Umm, I read the article. I watched the video. I didn’t read, see, or hear anything about the students being black or the sentence being racist.I’m not saying it’s not true, but link to an article that supports your friggin’ claim.
Looks like a technicality. He registered in the state he moved to but didn’t pass it on to the state he moved out of as well.For all intents and purposes it should be a slap on the wrist rather than a maximum sentence. Doesn’t especially look like intention to do a runner, just bad paperwork.
Does she have a big ass?Now, if all these boys got it up and hit it, that makes them willing. 6 years is ridiculous!This putting people in jail and ruining their lives for having sex with people that have sexually matured (i.e. they are developmentally capable of having sex and conceiving a child) is getting out of hand. It’s all because somebody made up a number (generally 18) and said that it’s against the “LAW” to have sexual relations with anybody under this age, period. Now I know that I was ready to start having sex as soon as I figured out that my penis did something besides relieve my bladder, and that was about age 13. Would I have tried it with a woman in her 20s or 30s if I had the chance? You bet!
Cool, so you can get them away from me?
