SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Education (SBE) proposes to amend Regulation 43-262. This regulation delineates requirements for assessment programs managed by the Office of Assessment. Amendments are being proposed to merge language from Regulations 43-260 and 43-262.4 into this regulation so that regulations governing assessments are in one regulation. Duplicative language resulting from merging the three regulations is deleted. In compliance with Section 59-18-310 of Act 155 that states that "students are no longer required to meet the exit examination requirements to earn a South Carolina high school diploma," references to passing an exit examination as a condition for receiving a South Carolina high school diploma have been deleted.

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