Title of Regulation Charter Schools Assessment Program Requirements for Certification at the Advanced Level Interpreter Regulations for Students Who are Deaf
Proposed Action Amends the Regulation to add Procedures and Standards for the Review of Charter School Applications. Updates language in the statewide assessment program to align to updates to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that was passed in 2015. The State Board of Education proposes to amend R.43-64: Requirements for Certification at the Advanced Level to update and streamline requirements for educators to become certified in leadership and administrative fields and in instructional service fields. S.C. Code of Law 59-33-120 requires the South Carolina Department of Education to establish regulations for the conditions for employment of educational interpreters for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in our South Carolina schools.
