SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

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.
