What stands out about how Vance is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Orangeburg County School District
Vance’s K–12 school district, shared with Bowman, Branchville, Cope, Cordova, Elloree and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $18,009 per pupil, $8,114 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
South Carolina districts overall: 45% local, 43% state, 13% federal.
