South Carolina S0537 prohibits school districts from requiring teachers to assign grades below a student's actual performance.
South Carolina S0537 amends the state code to prohibit school districts from requiring teachers to assign a minimum grade or score that exceeds a student's actual performance. If a school district violates this provision, the State Department of Education will withhold ten percent of the district's State Aid to Classroom funding for the 2025-2026 school year. The act allows for revisions of student work and the use of credit recovery courses that align with the state's Uniform Grading Policy.
