South Carolina H4068 regulates suspensions in publicly-funded preschools, emphasizing prevention and data collection.

South Carolina H4068 amends the state code to regulate suspensions in publicly-funded preschools, focusing on prevention and data collection. It mandates that preschools collect data on suspensions and expulsions, and report it annually. The bill extends certain provisions to preschool students and requires the State Department of Education to provide resources and training to preschools. It prohibits out-of-school suspensions unless a serious safety threat exists, and in-school suspensions unless interventions have failed.
