A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 59-18-900, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE EDUCATION OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE'S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE RATINGS AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS UNDER THE EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY ACT, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE COMMITTEE IN ALL RATINGS RATHER THAN JUST IN THE IMPROVEMENT RATING SHALL CONSIDER CERTAIN CRITERIA.

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

SECTION 1. Section 59-18-900(C) of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 400 of 1998, is amended to read:

"(C) In setting the criteria for the academic performance ratings and the performance indicators, the Education Oversight Committee shall report the performance by subgroups of students in the school and schools similar in student characteristics; consideration of these factors must be given only in the improvement rating. Criteria must use established guidelines for statistical analysis and build on current data-reporting practices."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
