The school’s proposal asks the district to approve an honors-level dance offering and describes a portfolio-based approach that adds academic rigor beyond college-preparatory coursework.

According to staff, honors-level approval requires three elements: course content and materials, instructional methods and assessment. Presenters said the proposed course aligns to the South Carolina Visual and Performing Arts standards and adds an extra level of complexity and rigor appropriate to honors coursework. The application includes a complete syllabus with pacing, scope and sequence, and formative and summative assessments. The syllabus and materials are intended to show how instruction exceeds a college-preparatory standard.

The proposed honors pathway would require students to develop a portfolio with required components aligned to the state “graduate profile,” including sections showing world-class knowledge and skills, life and character, and career-related characteristics. Portfolios would include research on choreographers, documentation of units that demonstrate applied skills, project-based learning products, performance rubrics, peer review, video recordings and written reflections. Staff emphasized that reflection prompts and self-assessment would be central; students would review video of their performances, receive peer and instructor rubrics, and respond to written prompts about how they would improve and how the work connects to future aspirations.

Presenters described opportunities to bring guest artists into the classroom and to take students to professional performances, to support career pathways in performing arts. Staff said the district requires both formative and summative assessments and that these assessments must be adapted based on student learning.

After discussion, a motion was made in committee to recommend the Hilton Head Island High School honors dance course to the full Board of Education; the committee moved and seconded that recommendation. The proposal will be placed on the agenda for the Board of Education for final approval.","Hilton Head Island High School presented an honors-level dance course application requiring student portfolios aligned to South Carolina Visual and Performing Arts standards, added academic rigor, pacing and formative/summative assessment; committee moved to forward the proposal to the full board.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6646243,"Committee reviews two instructional administrative regulations; staff to update contacts and nondiscrimination language",180,1700000,1880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3340458-4e4e0982c0b8d32572b7bf375c1d6ced&start=1700&end=1880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3340458-4e4e0982c0b8d32572b7bf375c1d6ced/thumbnail_1700000.jpg","/articles/6646243/South-Carolina/Committee-reviews-two-instructional-administrative-regulations-staff-to-update-contacts-and-nondiscrimination-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646243-11970a43d02646ab51449903e5b137a5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771108435&Signature=euL3oYzMIczjXvsHdLfcZhTH97VBrbdMWR~mBKyPKsb5M2a17dyEaxWuAY3Mni6CE3eVYzJor~hcgHIL7wH1NL3z2Y3HLBn5zSmTSZd8p7Q5ETx5sJaR1ChomThRlxX3HPFNaL07QwZxvb7ZqG577IU6aurh3qYDboPDeH-H6fF55Ak--Gw90hv6zX4-sXCVJ1yX8x5o8GYDh-ukWj1SLiBWS1OgBPe3Eba0y8jr7vDaH0XGrdU2nq5TP6XC6iPRWl2N6UyysEY7eOrc1QvbSg6Ua5Em0q-19XRgBiOz2UNmAAMXoL2cLT0~5xw2bOVUSwXxnupsqNP82W3LaNCm7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Academics Committee received summaries of two instructional administrative regulations on Feb. 25: IS42, governing research conducted in the district, and IS48, governing retention and acceleration policies for students.

Ms. McKenzie, the district’s director of secondary, told the committee IS42 makes minimal but important changes, including adding a nondiscrimination clause to district administrative regulations and updating the research application contact (section 42E) after Lana Simmons moved to another position; the new contact is Denise Hook. Ms. McKenzie said the updated application form with the new contact information is available on the district website.

On IS48 (retention and acceleration), staff said the regulation includes modest edits to clarify communications to families and to align district language with changes at the state level. In particular, the regulation removes a clause saying a student must have “successfully completed the state exit exam” because the South Carolina Department of Education has removed the state exit exam requirement. Staff said IS48 also adds the same nondiscrimination clause being added across administrative regulations and that the redline and final versions are available in committee materials.

Committee members asked whether the district would update the website and application forms to avoid routing research requests to prior staff; staff confirmed the website and application documents would be updated and provided to committee members. No formal action on these administrative regulations was taken in committee on Feb. 25; staff said they would return with final copies and any necessary follow-up.","The committee reviewed Administrative Regulations IS42 (research in district) and IS48 (promotion/acceleration/retention) and was told IS42 adds a nondiscrimination clause and updates the research point-of-contact; IS48 removes a reference to a now-removed state exit exam and adds a nondiscrimination clause.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6646248,"Academics committee reviews new school-based behavioral threat assessment regulation",1770,2125000,3895000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3340458-4e4e0982c0b8d32572b7bf375c1d6ced&start=2125&end=3895","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3340458-4e4e0982c0b8d32572b7bf375c1d6ced/thumbnail_2125000.jpg","/articles/6646248/South-Carolina/Academics-committee-reviews-new-school-based-behavioral-threat-assessment-regulation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646248-a4469fea597da4968def5fe58a64e4bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771108435&Signature=mv0PE8KD0jmqnmzwdDcAH~Vio6KKtangxqtFijCKMZn6W1I5zHEnbnzDT0zRMHHNh4E2Wqiu1rA9GjdEC~d2DLYyk0BsusDfg2waREdS7bCGlise8jFi3wDNf6sAt6OQFMAfcuW8IR1H0Vg-HZ6Q25N-ZaePZdP2YUBFD6nOD9URT-G3qLs3kxT4U02Qq2d6SQeHaRGnuCedsXeMs3J9mVSFGmhj65aYl5jo~aTu-eUPKeZUFmZuC1W-tWRQYfVYa7KIZJ7v7ArTXEF1OTeiwrGVZi5ykpzDF~JDrHWjKYoqPeRCbhHAwxLH2iDa8UZMFwhypMAEtkHYNLUqaYE15w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The County Board of Education Academics Committee on Feb. 25 reviewed Administrative Regulation SS62, a new Student Services rule laying out how schools will identify, assess and manage behavioral threats. The regulation establishes procedures, team roles and annual training expectations for school-based behavioral threat assessment and management.

The regulation sets a two-step response for concerns: an initial screening by a school-based core team, then, if needed, a “full protocol” threat assessment. The core team must include at least an administrator and one school-based mental-health professional; the full protocol team must include at least three members and may include school social workers, counselors, school psychologists, behavior-management specialists, nurses and the school resource officer (SRO).

The regulation permits schools to share personally identifiable information from education records with school personnel when “the district determines an articulable and significant threat to the health or safety of students or others exists” and the recipient’s knowledge is necessary to protect safety. If a potentially imminent threat is found—for example, a specific threat involving a weapon—the core team is instructed to notify the SRO and call 911; if not, the team completes a threat-assessment screener. When the screener indicates possible intent or the core team cannot reach consensus, a full protocol assessment is required.

If the full protocol team finds the level of concern is moderate or high, members must develop and implement a management plan outlining intervention, supervision and monitoring, and identify who on the team will carry out each responsibility. If the level of concern is low and supports are needed, a plan may also be developed; if no level of concern is found, the case is closed. The regulation emphasizes documentation of contacts, rationale and follow-up actions.

The regulation requires annual training for principals, assistant principals, school counselors, school social workers, school psychologists, behavior specialists, SROs and other school threat-assessment team members; presenters said training is a full-day program (minimum about six and a half hours) that uses case-study role-playing and usually takes an afternoon to complete. The presenters emphasized that the training is intended to halt an escalation of risk earlier in the decision chain, with the stated goal of addressing threats at the ideation stage when possible.

Committee members asked about parental involvement and how the district handles incidents involving adults; presenters said parents must be contacted and included in the assessment process for students and that incidents involving an adult would generally be handled by emergency services or medical professionals rather than the school threat-assessment process.

The committee accepted the presentation and asked staff to return with implementation details and training schedules for upcoming sessions to be made available to principals and teams.","The committee discussed a new Student Services administrative regulation (SS62) that sets procedures for school-based behavioral threat assessment and management, clarifies team roles, allows limited disclosures of student information when a credible threat exists, and requires annual training for school threat-assessment teams.","actionData","errors"]
