Senate approves open enrollment plan for public schools
South Carolina senators gave 29 to 8 vote approval to a public school choice plan aiming to expand options within and across districts. The measure, endorsed by Education Superintendent Jim Rex, would phase in open enrollment over three years, allow transfers to any public school, and encourage district level options such as same gender classes and charter or Montessori programs. Rex argues broader choices will raise graduation rates from the current about 50 percent. The bill would also modify transfer rules, letting denied students apply elsewhere and removing the year delay for extracurriculars except sports. Republican lawmakers cautioned against recruiting star athletes and urged broader support while voucher efforts continued to loom.
