School Guard Requirements

Complete·5/27/26

School guards in South Carolina must wear visible garments to direct traffic near schools.

The bill amends South Carolina law to require school guards to wear visible garments or equipment while assisting students to cross streets near schools. It also grants these guards authority to direct and control traffic on public roadways near schools to reduce congestion during drop-off and pick-up times. The school district official responsible for supervising these personnel must ensure they are equipped and trained in traffic safety.
