Search: Home Literacy Legislation SOUTH CAROLINA Background to Enactment Summary of Legislation The Early Childhood Development and Academic Assistance Act of 1993, known as Act 135, added to Education Improvement Act funds to provide for the expansion of "Target 2000" to all 91 school districts by the year 1994-95 and allows schools more flexibility in using funds. In their five-year plans for serving children from birth to age five, districts must include a parenting/family literacy component that creates partnerships with health and human service agencies, adult education programs and community organizations. Districts also must make intensive efforts to recruit parents whose children are at risk for school failure, must provide parent education and are encouraged to offer parents opportunities to improve their education if they do not possess a high school diploma or its equivalent. The legislation provides for the State Board of Education to promulgate regulations, but these regulations have not yet been approved by the General Assembly. Funding Administrative Structure The "Guidelines for Implementing Parenting/Family Literacy As Required By Act 135" address service delivery methods, needs assessment and developmental screening. They call for an annual evaluation of each program and collaboration with other local agencies. In the "Guidelines," at-risk children are defined according to criteria including developmental delays, unstable homes, poverty, limited English proficiency, low educational level of parent, unusual age of caregiver, poor health, child abuse and neglect, inadequate parenting and inadequate access to critically needed family services.

E-Mail The READ Institute Read Abstracts A 50 State Survey of Requirements for the Education of Language Minority Children November 1997 By Anita Garcia and Cynthia Morgan Ms. Garcia and Ms. Morgan are Adjunct Fellows at the Center for Equal Opportunity in Washington, D.C. Ms. Garcia is also a scholar at the University of California at Berkeley for the Foundation for Teaching Economics. Ms. Morgan is also an Ashbrook scholar at Ashland University. Introduction Schools around the United States are now faced with education a growing number of children who lack basic English skills. According to the National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education , there are 2,437,723 Limited English Proficiency students in the U.S.1 Only a few years ago, many schools had never dealt with a language minority child. Today, an increasing number do. The challenge of providing a quality education to all students is doubled when schools must also teach a child an entire new language as well as academic courses. Over the last 30 years, elected officials, education agencies, and the courts have established guidelines for the education of these students. Federal requirements allow states a wide deal of latitude in selecting the most effective programs for their limited-English-proficient (LEP) students. Many states have enacted their own laws governing the management and style of programs for LEPs. These laws have been developed in cooperation with, or under coercion from, federal agencies and/or activist organizations. The result has been a patchwork of laws and regulations that can vary greatly from state to state.

Search powered by The 1995 Legislative Briefing Summary Actions to downsize government and increase efficiency dominated the legislative agendas of SREB states in 1995, and schools and colleges in many states found themselves accepting more freedom and flexibility in return for more accountability. It was also a belt-tightening year across the region. In most states, education budgets grew less than they did one year ago. Increases to elementary and secondary education budgets for 1995-96 are lower in nearly every SREB state, while higher education budget increases are lower in two-thirds of the states. Pay raises for school teachers and college faculty are also generally lower. Despite the slowdown in the growth of public college and university budgets across the region, tuition increases for in-state students were generally modest. A few states saw increases as high as 7 percent, but more states held tuition steady. Three SREB states passed charter school bills designed to encourage more educational innovation. Most other states considered such bills or agreed to study the concept further. Higher education budgets Higher education budget increases in the SREB states ranged from about 1 percent to 9 percent. Increases of less than 4 percent were approved in Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia. Four-year colleges in North Carolina and Tennessee institutions will operate at about last year's funding level. Colleges in Georgia will see the greatest boost at 9 percent. Budgets in Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and West Virginia are up 6 to 8 percent. Funding in Alabama will decline 7.6 percent.
