Public education is very important to Representative Neal Collins, who has filed numerous bills addressing the subject. His bills include focusing on racial disparity in academic performance, substituting statewide funding for K-12 schools instead of local property tax, abolishing the State Board of Education, and consolidating all school districts in a county into one county school district. Rep. Collins also talks about the problem of affordable childcare as well as his work preparing the state for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and South Carolina's role.
