South Carolina bill mandates adult attendants for special needs students on school buses.
The bill amends South Carolina law to require an adult attendant on public school buses transporting handicapped students who need mechanical or physical restraint. The driver cannot also serve as the attendant, and while multiple attendants are allowed, only one is required. The State Department of Education is responsible for transporting handicapped students to their assigned schools, with potential cost-saving reciprocal agreements for certain age groups.
