TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, RELATING TO CREDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 4788, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    The regulations of the State Board of Education, relating to Credential Classification, designated as Regulation Document Number 4788, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.

SECTION    2.    This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

State Board of Education Regulation 43-53 governs the types of certificates issued to educators. Amendments to Regulation 43-53 will update requirements for issuing specific credential types and will remove the names of specific approved non-traditional or alternative educator preparation providers. These specific terms will be replaced with general language indicating that an appropriate alternative route certificate will be issued to a candidate meeting the requirements for certification outlined in the Board of Education guidelines for a specific provider.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendments to the regulation was published in the State Register on June 23, 2017.
