Any school, in South Carolina

Across South Carolina, kids are forced to go to schools that are within the county they live in, even if be a mile or two over a given counties line. Why is this? They say, because if you live in county X you pay taxes for that county and not county Y, the school in which you wish to go to. Is money, more important than a students safety? Is money more important than a students limits of education? Is money more important than a students future? Apparently to South Carolina's department of education, and all the school boards within it. On the fourteenth of April, 2016 the governor of Florida, Rick Scott signed a bill, which would allow any student to go to any school, as long as there was a safe and manageable way of transportation. This is exactly what South Carolina needs.
