SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

Regulation 43-165.1 defines the performance standards and criteria for assisting, developing, and evaluating principals in South Carolina. Regulation 43-165.1 also defines the rating scale for determining levels of effectiveness regarding a principal's performance.

The amendments will change the rating levels to specify that a satisfactory rating will be identified as "Proficient" or higher and an additional standard will be added to the present standards. The additional standard will be a Student Growth standard which will comprise a portion of the principal's overall evaluation as specified in the guidelines approved by the State Board of Education.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendments regulation was published in the State Register on August 22, 2014.
