SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

State Board of Education (SBE) Regulation 43-307 requires SBE assessments and accountability elements to align with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) with much specificity. The proposed amendment will ensure that South Carolina will comply with federal law without having to amend the regulation each time the NCLB is amended.

Notice of Drafting for the proposed amendments to the regulation was published in the State Register on September 25, 2015.
