SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 43-300 governs the accreditation process for schools and districts in South Carolina. Currently, schools and districts are accredited through the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE). The proposed amendment would provide a second accreditation option by allowing districts and schools to gain accreditation through an accrediting entity accepted by higher education in lieu of accreditation through the SCDE.

The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on July 26, 2013.
