SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 43-62 governs the requirements for add-on certification for educators in South Carolina. Amendments to Regulation 43-62 will (1) refine and update requirements for an educator to be endorsed in online teaching; and (2) change the wording of the regulation to replace certification with licensure in keeping with agency norms. These changes allow the Board to continue to provide appropriately certified educators for South Carolina public schools.

Per request of the Senate Education Committee, the State Board of Education withdrew the regulation, made the changes delineated below, and resubmitted the regulation:

Derivatives of the usage of "License" (license, licenses, licensed, licensure) in place of derivatives of "Certificate" should revert to the original, appropriate term used (Certification, etc.).

The drafting notice was published in the State Register on August 23, 2013.
