DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, page 344, after line 15, by adding an
appropriately numbered paragraph to read:
/ (SDE: Child
Development Education Pilot Program) There is created the South
Carolina Child Development Education Pilot Program (CDEPP).
This program shall be available for the current school year on a
voluntary basis and shall focus on the developmental and
learning support that children must have in order to be ready
for school and must incorporate parenting education.
(A) For the
current school year, with funds appropriated by the General
Assembly, the South Carolina Child Development Education Pilot
Program shall first be made available to eligible children from
the trial and plaintiff school districts in the Abbeville County
School District et. al. vs. South Carolina and then expanded to
eligible children residing in school districts with a poverty
index of seventy-five percent or greater.
Unexpended funds from the prior
fiscal year for this program shall be carried forward and shall
remain in the program. In rare instances, students with
documented kindergarten readiness barriers may be permitted to
enroll for a second year, or at age five, at the discretion of
the Department of Education for students being served by a
public provider or at the discretion of the Office of South
Carolina First Steps to School Readiness for students being
served by a private provider.
(B) Each child
residing in the pilot districts, who will have attained the age
of four years on or before September first, of the school year,
and meets the at-risk criteria is eligible for enrollment in the
South Carolina Child Development Education Pilot Program for one
year.
The parent of each eligible child
may enroll the child in one of the following programs:
(1)
a school-year four-year-old kindergarten program
delivered by an approved public provider; or
(2)
a school-year four-year-old kindergarten program
delivered by an approved private provider.
The parent enrolling a child must
complete and submit an application to the approved provider of
choice. The application must be submitted on forms and must be
accompanied by a copy of the child's birth certificate,
immunization documentation, and documentation of the student's
eligibility as evidenced by family income documentation showing
an annual family income of one hundred eighty-five percent or
less of the federal poverty guidelines as promulgated annually
by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or a
statement of Medicaid eligibility.
In submitting an application for
enrollment, the parent agrees to comply with provider attendance
policies during the school year. The attendance policy must
state that the program consists of 6.5 hours of instructional
time daily and operates for a period of not less than one
hundred eighty days per year. Pursuant to program guidelines,
noncompliance with attendance policies may result in removal
from the program.
No parent is required to pay tuition
or fees solely for the purpose of enrolling in or attending the
program established under this provision. Nothing in this
provision prohibits charging fees for childcare that may be
provided outside the times of the instructional day provided in
these programs.
If by October first of the school
year at least seventy-five percent of the total number of
eligible CDEPP children in a district or county are projected to
be enrolled in CDEPP, Head Start or ABC Child Care Program as
determined by the Department of Education and the Office of
First Steps, CDEPP providers may then enroll pay-lunch children
who score at or below the twenty-fifth national percentile on
two of the three DIAL-3 subscales and may receive reimbursement
for these children if funds are available.
(C) Public
school providers choosing to participate in the South Carolina
Four-Year-Old Child Development Kindergarten Program must submit
an application to the Department of Education. Private
providers choosing to participate in the South Carolina
Four-Year-Old Child Development Kindergarten Program must submit
an application to the Office of First Steps. The application
must be submitted on the forms prescribed, contain assurances
that the provider meets all program criteria set forth in this
provision, and will comply with all reporting and assessment
requirements.
Providers shall:
(1)
comply with all federal and state laws and
constitutional provisions prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of disability, race, creed, color, gender, national
origin, religion, ancestry, or need for special education
services;
(2)
comply with all state and local health and safety
laws and codes;
(3)
comply with all state laws that apply regarding
criminal background checks for employees and exclude from
employment any individual not permitted by state law to work
with children;
(4)
be accountable for meeting the education needs of
the child and report at least quarterly to the parent/guardian
on his progress;
(5)
comply with all program, reporting, and assessment
criteria required of providers;
(6)
maintain individual student records for each child
enrolled in the program to include, but not be limited to,
assessment data, health data, records of teacher observations,
and records of parent or guardian and teacher conferences;
(7)
designate whether extended day services will be
offered to the parents/guardians of children participating in
the program;
(8)
be approved, registered, or licensed by the
Department of Social Services; and
(9)
comply with all state and federal laws and
requirements specific to program providers.
Providers may limit student
enrollment based upon space available. However if enrollment
exceeds available space, providers shall enroll children with
first priority given to children with the lowest scores on an
approved pre-kindergarten readiness assessment. Private
providers shall not be required to expand their programs to
accommodate all children desiring enrollment. However,
providers are encouraged to keep a waiting list for students
they are unable to serve because of space limitations.
(D) The
Department of Education and the Office of First Steps to School
Readiness shall:
(1)
develop the provider
application form;
(2)
develop the child enrollment
application form;
(3)
develop a list of approved
research-based preschool curricula for use in the program based
upon the South Carolina Content Standards, provide training and
technical assistance to support its effective use in approved
classrooms serving children;
(4)
develop a list of approved
pre-kindergarten readiness assessments to be used in conjunction
with the program, provide assessments and technical assistance
to support assessment administration in approved classrooms
serving children;
(5)
establish criteria for
awarding new classroom equipping grants;
(6)
establish criteria for the
parenting education program providers must offer;
(7)
establish a list of early
childhood related fields that may be used in meeting the lead
teacher qualifications;
(8)
develop a list of data
collection needs to be used in implementation and evaluation of
the program;
(9)
identify teacher preparation
program options and assist lead teachers in meeting teacher
program requirements;
(10)
establish criteria for granting student retention
waivers; and
(11)
establish criteria for granting classroom size
requirements waivers.
(E) Providers of
the South Carolina Child Development Education Pilot Program
shall offer a complete educational program in accordance with
age-appropriate instructional practice and a research based
preschool curriculum aligned with school success. The program
must focus on the developmental and learning support children
must have in order to be ready for school. The provider must
also incorporate parenting education that promotes the school
readiness of preschool children by strengthening parent
involvement in the learning process with an emphasis on
interactive literacy.
Providers shall offer high-quality,
center-based programs that must include, but shall not be
limited to, the following:
(1)
employ a lead teacher with a two-year degree in
early childhood education or related field or be granted a
waiver of this requirement from the Department of Education or
the Office of First Steps to School Readiness;
(2)
employ an education assistant with pre-service or
in-service training in early childhood education;
(3)
maintain classrooms with at least ten four-year-old
children, but no more than twenty four-year-old children with an
adult to child ratio of 1:10. With classrooms having a minimum
of ten children, the 1:10 ratio must be a lead teacher to child
ratio. Waivers of the minimum class size requirement may be
granted by the South Carolina Department of Education for public
providers or by the Office of First Steps to School Readiness
for private providers on a case-by-case basis;
(4)
offer a full day, center-based program with 6.5
hours of instruction daily for one hundred eighty school days;
(5)
provide an approved research-based preschool
curriculum that focuses on critical child development skills,
especially early literacy, numeracy, and social/emotional
development;
(6)
engage parents' participation in their child's
educational experience that shall include a minimum of two
documented conferences per year; and
(7)
adhere to professional development requirements
outlined in this article.
(F) Every
classroom providing services to four-year-old children
established pursuant to this provision must have a lead teacher
with at least a two-year degree in early childhood education or
related field and who is enrolled and is demonstrating progress
toward the completion of a teacher education program within four
years. Every classroom must also have at least one education
assistant per classroom who shall have the minimum of a high
school diploma or the equivalent, and at least two years of
experience working with children under five years old. The
teaching assistant shall have completed the Early Childhood
Development Credential (ECD) 101 or enroll and complete this
course within twelve months of hire. Providers may request
waivers to the ECD 101 requirement for those assistants who have
demonstrated sufficient experience in teaching children five
years old and younger. The providers must request this waiver
in writing to their designated administrative agency (First
Steps or the Department of Education) and provide appropriate
documentation as to the qualifications of the teaching
assistant.
(G) The General
Assembly recognizes there is a strong relationship between the
skills and preparation of pre-kindergarten instructors and the
educational outcomes of students. To improve these education
outcomes, participating providers shall require all personnel
providing instruction and classroom support to students
participating in the South Carolina Child Development Education
Pilot Program to participate annually in a minimum of fifteen
hours of professional development to include teaching children
from poverty. Professional development should provide
instruction in strategies and techniques to address the
age-appropriate progress of pre-kindergarten students in
developing emergent literacy skills, including but not limited
to, oral communication, knowledge of print and letters, phonemic
and phonological awareness, and vocabulary and comprehension
development.
(H) Both public
and private providers shall be eligible for transportation funds
for the transportation of children to and from school. Nothing
within this provision prohibits providers from contracting with
another entity to provide transportation services provided the
entities adhere to the requirements of Section 56-5-195.
Providers shall not be responsible for transporting students
attending programs outside the district lines. Parents choosing
program providers located outside of their resident district
shall be responsible for transportation. When transporting
four-year-old child development students, providers shall make
every effort to transport them with students of similar ages
attending the same school. Of the amount appropriated for the
program, not more than $185 per student shall be retained by the
Department of Education for the purposes of transporting
four-year-old students. This amount must be increased annually
by the same projected rate of inflation as determined by the
Division of Research and Statistics of the Budget and Control
Board for the Education Finance Act.
(I) For all
private providers approved to offer services pursuant to this
provision, the Office of First Steps to School Readiness
shall:
(1)
serve as the fiscal agent;
(2)
verify student enrollment eligibility;
(3)
recruit, review, and approve eligible providers.
In considering approval of providers, consideration must be
given to the provider's availability of permanent space for
program service and whether temporary classroom space is
necessary to provide services to any children;
(4)
coordinate oversight, monitoring, technical
assistance, coordination, and training for classroom
providers;
(5)
serve as a clearing house for information and best
practices related to four-year-old kindergarten programs;
(6)
receive, review, and approve new classroom grant
applications and make recommendations for approval based on
approved criteria;
(7)
coordinate activities and promote collaboration
with other private and public providers in developing and
supporting four-year-old kindergarten programs;
(8)
maintain a database of the children enrolled in the
program; and
(9)
promulgate guidelines as necessary for the
implementation of the pilot program.
(J) For all
public school providers approved to offer services pursuant to
this provision, the Department of Education shall:
(1)
serve as the fiscal agent;
(2)
verify student enrollment eligibility;
(3)
recruit, review, and approve eligible providers.
In considering approval of providers, consideration must be

(K) The General
Assembly shall provide funding for the South Carolina Child
Development Education Pilot Program. For the current school
year, the funded cost per child shall be $4,218 increased
annually by the rate of inflation as determined by the Division
of Research and Statistics of the Budget and Control Board for
the Education Finance Act. Eligible students enrolling with
private providers during the school year shall be funded on a
pro rata basis determined by the length of their enrollment.
Private providers transporting eligible children to and from
school shall be eligible for a reimbursement of $550 per
eligible child transported. Providers who are reimbursed are
required to retain records as required by their fiscal agent.
Providers enrolling between one and six eligible children shall
be eligible to receive up to $1,000 per child in materials and
equipment grant funding, with providers enrolling seven or more
such children eligible for grants not to exceed $10,000.
Providers receiving equipment grants are expected to participate
in the program and provide high-quality, center-based programs
as defined herein for a minimum of three years. Failure to
participate for three years will require the provider to return
a portion of the equipment allocation at a level determined by
the Department of Education and the Office of First Steps to
School Readiness. Funding to providers is contingent upon
receipt of data as requested by the Department of Education and
the Office of First Steps.
(L) Pursuant to
this provision, the Department of Social Services shall:
(1)
maintain a list of all approved public and private
providers; and
(2)
provide the Department of Education and the Office
of First Steps information necessary to carry out the
requirements of this provision.
(M) The Office
of First Steps to School Readiness shall be responsible for the
collection and maintenance of data on the state funded programs
provided through private providers.
(N) Of the funds
appropriated, $300,000 shall be allocated to the Education
Oversight Committee to conduct an annual evaluation of the South
Carolina Child Development Education Pilot Program and to issue
findings in a report to the General Assembly by January 15 of
each year. The evaluation shall include, but is not limited to:
(1) student data including the number of at-risk four-year-old
kindergarten students served in publically funded programs, by
county and by program; (2) program effectiveness including
developmentally appropriate assessments of children to measure
emerging literacy and numeracy; (3) individual classroom
assessments to determine program quality; (4) longitudinal
analysis of academic and non-academic measures of success for
children who participated in the program; and (5) an evaluation
of the professional development, monitoring and assistance
offered to public and private providers.
To aid in this evaluation, the
Education Oversight Committee shall determine the data necessary
and both public and private providers are required to submit the
necessary data as a condition of continued participation in and
funding of the program. This data shall include developmentally
appropriate measures of student progress. Additionally, the
Department of Education shall issue a unique student identifier
for each child receiving services from a private provider. The
Department of Education shall be responsible for the collection
and maintenance of data on the public state funded full day and
half-day four-year-old kindergarten programs. The Office of
First Steps to School Readiness shall be responsible for the
collection and maintenance of data on the state funded programs
provided through private providers. The Education Oversight
Committee shall use this data and all other collected and
maintained data necessary to conduct a research based review of
the program's implementation and assessment of student success
in the early elementary grades./

act, appropriation acts, or joint resolution supplemental
thereto, and any other approved expenditures of monies. A state
agency, department, or institution shall not operate in a manner
that results in a year-end deficit except as provided in this
chapter.
(B) If at the
end of each quarterly deficit monitoring review by the State
Budget Division, it is determined by either the State Budget
Division or a state agency, department, or institution that the
likelihood of a deficit for the current fiscal year exists, the
state agency shall notify the General Assembly within fifteen
days of this determination and shall further request the State
Budget Division to work with it to develop a plan to avoid the
deficit. Within fifteen days of the deficit avoidance plan
being completed, the State Budget Division shall either request
the General Assembly to recognize the deficit in the manner
provided in subsection (C) if it determines the deficit
avoidance plan will not be sufficient to avoid a deficit or
notify the General Assembly of how the deficit will be avoided
based on the deficit avoidance plan if the State Budget Division

(C) Upon
notification from the State Budget Division as provided in
subsection (B) that an agency will run a deficit and requesting
that it be recognized, the General Assembly, by joint
resolution, may make a finding that the cause of, or likelihood
of, a deficit is unavoidable due to factors which are outside
the control of the state agency, department, or institution, and
recognize the deficit. Any legislation to recognize a deficit
must be in a separate joint resolution enacted for the sole
purpose of recognizing the deficit of a particular state agency,
department, or institution. A deficit only may be recognized by
an affirmative vote of each branch of the General Assembly.
(D) If the
General Assembly recognizes the deficit, then the actual deficit
at the close of the fiscal year must be reduced as necessary
from surplus revenues or surplus funds available at the close of
the fiscal year in which the deficit occurs and from funds
available in the General Reserve Fund and the Capital Reserve
Fund, as required by the Constitution of this State.
(E) Once a
deficit has been recognized by the General Assembly, the state
agency, department, or institution shall limit travel and
conference attendance to that which is deemed essential by the
director of the agency, department, or institution. In
addition, the General Assembly, when recognizing a deficit may

An agency of this State owning or licensing computerized data or
other data that includes personal identifying information shall
disclose any breach of the security of the system following
discovery or notification of the breach in the security of the
data to any resident of this State whose personal identifying
information was, or is reasonably believed to have been,
acquired by an unauthorized person. In determining whether
information has been acquired, or is reasonably believed to have
been acquired, by an unauthorized person or a person without
valid authorization, the agency may consider the following
factors, among others:
(1)
indications that the information is in the physical
possession and control of an unauthorized person, such as a lost
or stolen computer or other device containing information;
(2)
indications that the information has been viewed,
downloaded, or copied; or
(3)
indications that the information was used by an
unauthorized person, such as fraudulent accounts opened or
instances of reported identity theft.
(B) An agency
maintaining computerized data or other data that includes
personal identifying information that the agency does not own
shall notify the owner or licensee of the information of a
breach of the security of the data immediately following
discovery, if the personal identifying information was, or is
reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized
person.
(C) The
disclosure requirements of subsections (A) and (B) must be made
in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable
delay; however, the notification required by this section may be
delayed if a law enforcement agency determines that the
notification impedes a criminal investigation and must be made
after the law enforcement agency determines that it no longer
compromises the investigation. A delay in notification shall
not exceed seventy-two hours after discovery, unless the agency
requests and the attorney general grants, in writing, additional
delays of up to seventy-two hours each upon a determination that
such notification impedes a criminal investigation.
(D) For purposes
of this section:
(1)
"Agency" means any agency, department,
board, commission, committee, or institution of higher learning
of the State or a political subdivision of it.
(2)
"Breach of the security of the system"
means unauthorized access to and acquisition of computerized
data that was not rendered unusable through encryption,
redaction, or other methods that compromise the security,
confidentiality, or integrity of personal identifying
information maintained by the agency, when illegal use of the
information has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur or use
of the information creates a material risk of harm to the
consumer. Good faith acquisition of personal identifying
information by an employee or agent of the agency for the
purposes of the agency is not a breach of the security of the
system if the personal identifying information is not used or
subject to further unauthorized disclosure.
(3)
