TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, RELATING TO GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 4261, 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 Graduation Requirements, designated as Regulation Document Number 4261, 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.
Proposed Amendments to State Board of Education (SBE) Regulation 24 S. C. Code Ann. Regs. 43-259, Graduation Requirements. These regulations provide guidance to school districts and other eligible adult education providers. The name of the responsible office needs to be changed, awarding of high school units of credit guidelines needs to be revised, and policies for the GED examination need revision. The graduation requirements for Grades 9-12 have been moved to Regulation 43-234. Previously, the office responsible for adult education activities was entitled, Office of Adult and Community Education. The office name was revised removing the word Community.
Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendments was published in the State Register on October 28, 2011.
