The bill H. 3206 aims to address racial disparities in academic testing results within South Carolina's school districts. It mandates that each school district develop a summary for every school detailing racial disparities in student performance on various national academic assessments, such as the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. The summaries must include five-year trend charts and be updated annually. Additionally, each school is required to post its summary report on its front doors, ensuring transparency and accessibility of this information to the public.

The new legal language introduced in this bill includes the establishment of Section 59-18-940, which outlines the specific requirements for the summaries and trend charts. The bill emphasizes the importance of monitoring and reporting racial disparities in academic performance, thereby promoting accountability and informed decision-making within the education system. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
