South Carolina S0708 allows school districts to apply for waivers to deviate from certain statutory and regulatory requirements.

South Carolina S0708 introduces a School Flexibility Pilot program allowing school districts to apply for waivers from certain statutory and regulatory requirements. These waivers enable districts to implement alternative scheduling models, such as a four-day instructional week, and to design instructional schedules based on competency and student needs. The waivers also suspend the requirement for teacher contracts to be based on 190 days and student attendance on 180 days.
