SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Section 59-18-310 of the Education Accountability Act requires end-of-course tests for gateway courses awarded units of credit in English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Proposed amendments to Section H of Regulation 43-262, End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP), are to permit the State Board of Education to define the courses in which end-of-course tests must be administered and permits the SCDE to work directly with districts concerning testing specific students when unusual circumstances arise.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendment of this regulation was published in the State Register on August 28, 2015.
