Richland County School District 2 v. Lucas

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that Provisos 1.108 and 1.103 of the 2021‑2022 Appropriations Act are constitutional, rejecting challenges that they violate the one‑subject rule, the Home Rule Act, equal‑protection guarantees, and the constitutional right to a free public education; the Court also declined to issue advisory guidance on mask or virtual‑education options.
