Abstract
During the 1986 legislative session, the General Assembly authorized the SC Commission on Higher Education (CHE) to award grants to the public and/or private colleges and universities to improve the recruitment of teacher education candidates, allocating $236,000 in Education Improvement Act (EIA) funds for this purpose. A consortium consisting of teacher training institutions in the State submitted one combined proposal to establish the SC Teacher Recruitment Center. The proposed Center was approved by CHE and has been funded annually since FY 1986-87. Beginning in FY 1990-91, appropriations for the SC Teacher Recruitment Center were made solely through EIA. Beginning in FY 1988-89, the General Assembly required CHE to “monitor the use” of these funds and to report on the “effectiveness of the programs” to certain legislative committees. The FY 1990-91 Appropriations Act included a more comprehensive proviso, which instructed the CHE to “ensure that all funds are used to promote teacher recruitment on a statewide basis … ensure the continued coordination of efforts among the … teacher recruitment projects … review the use of funds and … have prior program and budget approval.”
