Required Credentials for Public School Positions

District and school professional staff members must hold appropriate credentials for the positions they occupy in order to meet accreditation standards mandated by State Board of Education Regulation 43-300. Districts refer to the Required Credentials for Professional Staff Members in the Instructional Programs of South Carolina’s Public Schools for guidance on which certifications must be held in a given employment position. If you are unsure of a given position's title or certification requirements, please contact the employing South Carolina public school district for assistance.
