H4306

South Carolina H4306 prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to assign grades exceeding students' actual performance.

South Carolina H4306 amends the state code to prohibit school districts from mandating teachers to assign grades or scores that exceed students' actual performance. This provision ensures that grades reflect students' true academic achievements. The bill also allows for revisions of student work and the use of credit recovery courses that comply with the state's Uniform Grading Policy. If a district violates this rule, the State Department of Education can withhold ten percent of the district's State Aid to Classroom funding. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
