Establishes a South Carolina Purple Star School Program to support military-connected students and their families.

The bill establishes a South Carolina Purple Star School Program to support military-connected students and their families. It aims to reduce the burden on these students and their families by recognizing schools that meet specific criteria. Schools can earn a Purple Star School designation by demonstrating compliance with criteria such as having a military liaison, providing professional development for staff, and supporting student-led transition programs. The program also includes a statewide Military Student Identifier collection protocol and a dedicated webpage for military families.
