Bill > H3456

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to abolish the State Board of Education in South Carolina. Currently, the board consists of one member from each judicial circuit elected by legislative delegations, plus one additional member appointed by the Governor. The proposed amendment would eliminate this board entirely, with the specific mechanism for doing so to be determined by a public referendum. If approved, voters at the next general election will be asked to vote "Yes" or "No" to abolishing the State Board of Education, with ballots specifically asking: "Must Section 1, Article XI of the Constitution of this State, relating to the State Board of Education, be amended so as to provide that the State Board of Education is abolished?" Voters will indicate their preference by marking either the "Yes" or "No" box on their ballot, with a majority vote determining the outcome of this proposed constitutional change.
