S.1060

South Carolina S1060 establishes educator authority in classrooms, outlines student conduct expectations, and details disciplinary processes.

South Carolina S1060, the Educator Safety and Classroom Authority Act, defines terms related to educator safety and classroom authority. It grants educators explicit authority to establish classroom rules, remove disruptive students, and use reasonable force to protect themselves and others. The act outlines procedures for student referrals, removals, and administrative follow-ups. It also provides protections for educators, administrators, and staff, ensuring they are not disciplined for actions taken in accordance with the act.
