AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina education law by adding a new requirement for Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams when developing educational plans for children with disabilities. Specifically, these teams must now consider age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate instruction for comprehensive health education subjects when creating IEPs. The State Department of Education is tasked with establishing guidelines to help IEP teams implement this new requirement. School district boards must ensure that their IEP teams follow these guidelines in addition to existing State Board of Education requirements. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a personalized learning plan designed for students with disabilities that outlines specific educational goals and support services. The bill aims to ensure that health education for students with disabilities is tailored to their age and developmental stage, potentially improving the educational experience and outcomes for these students. The new law will take effect upon receiving the Governor's approval.
