In 1900 the state of South Carolina extended the school term to three months out of the year, but much of the state still received very little funding. In 1907 the state legislature passed the High School Act, which followed in the steps of the national picture. The High School Act created secondary education, meaning the creation of high schools in the state and ways to pay for it. Through this Act the State provided some aid, but most of it was a burden on the local communities to pay for it. Eventually, the legislature passed local bills that created school systems. These were created because there was a need for them to help run the schools. However, some school districts only had one school in them. In 1924 the State passed the “6-0-1 Law.” The creation of this law called for six months of state aid to the one month local governments provide. The only hold back to this law is that the local government had to have the money for that one month in order for the state to give the other six. The next big change came in 1951 to honor the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling the state passed its first sales tax, a three cents sales tax. Majority of the money went to upgrading black schools, however it was still not equal education, because they were not all getting the same education. After the 1954 ruling in the Brown case, South Carolina public schools slowly began to desegregate. Since integration began, many whites in the low country of South Carolina decided to leave the public schools and attend private schools called “segregation academies.” Now all students were getting equal education in the public schools and they continued to educate the majority of children. No other major changes took place in South Carolina before 1970, but there were more changes that did take place.

In 1900, a public school term lasted 3 months. There was not much state aid at that time. There was sctually was not much of a school sytem then. In 1907, the legislature passed the High School Act that gave some state aid for high schools. Many school districtsa had only one school in them and there was not much unifomity at all. The legislature passed local bills and created school systems wherever legislators saw fit. In 1949, the state had 1,361 school districts and 3,359 schoold in them. The state began to slowly increase aid over time. In 1924, the "6-0-1 law" was passed that gave six months of state aid if the local area gave for one month. During the great Depression, monies for state education were decreased and most schol reduced operations. In 1951, the states began to see the need to improve black schools due to fear that they might be forced to integrate.The state passed its first sales atx and used most proceeds to build new black schools. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that schools were unequal and after mush delay, schools finally desegregated. Many whites went to private schools, but the majority of the students in South Carolina went to school togehther.
Many things took place during 1900-1970 that haas impacted the state's public education and in a sense made it what it is today.

Both of these answers were quite good. I would make one correction to Matt's conclusion that "Now all students were getting equal education... ." The quality of local education depended strongly on both the willingness and ability of local officials to tax property values to support education in a community. This resulted in large disparities between wealthy largely suburban and poor largely rural districts. And of course, those districts where whites fled public schools voters did little to help the mostly black public schools.
