Until a study is completed, the state will continue to count out-of-state students in its per pupil funding formula. The state currently provides $3,200 to local school sys tems for each student enrolled. Polk County Schools enrolled 46 South Carolina students this year.

Green Creek Baptists Dedicate New Wing On Sunday, June 28th at 3 p.m., the Rev. Carroll Page and the congregation of Green Creek First Baptist Church dedicated their new 8,000-square-foot multi purpose building. The new addition houses the church fellowship hall, adult Sunday school classrooms, a conference room and a music room. As part of the building project, the church also reno vated existing facilities includ ing children's Sunday school classrooms, the sanctuary and church offices. The extensive renovation project took eight months to complete. Around 200 congre gation members and visitors gathered inside the church on Coxe Road to participate in the dedication service. Just before entering the new addition for an open house, the congregation watched as 102-year-old church member Mrs. Lusco Skipper cut the big yellow ribbon across the door. The Rev. Page praised the building committee and the entire congregation for the effort involved in completing the project. He said that future generations will thank them for having the foresight and faith to expand the church's facilities.
