SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED
BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
The State Board of Education ("State Board") proposes this regulation which establishes consistent definitions and a two-prong threshold test for local educators and boards to determine if materials available to students in public schools are (1) Age and Developmentally Appropriate and (2) educationally suitable and aligned with the purpose of South Carolina's instructional program. It furthermore creates a uniform process for local school boards to review and hold public hearings on complaints raised within its district and establishes an appellate process to the State Board of Education.
The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on September 22, 2023.
