Gov. McMaster recently signed S.454 into law. We believe the final version is a healthy balance between charter school and charter authorizer autonomy and legitimate state oversight needs. Here is The Good, The Bad, & The Okay-But-Might-Need-Some-Tweaking: palmettopromise.org/public-charter…
PPI's Director of Education Policy @RDellingerSC appeared on WISTV to talk about the new ban on grade floors in SC schools.
New South Carolina law bans grade floors to boost transparency in student performance! @PalmettoPromise wistv.com/2026/05/28/new…
Today is a great day for South Carolina students and teachers! Our new Grade Floor law is an important tool to promote high expectations, accountability, and excellence in our schools. This law helps ensure grades reflect real learning, real effort, and real achievement, better preparing students for success in school and life. Our students rise to high expectations when we believe they can and support them on their journey! Thank you to Governor @henrymcmaster, members of the General Assembly, educators, and parents for helping raise the bar for education in South Carolina.
The @SCSenate is ignoring the will of the people and sidelining parents by refusing to take up H.4757: the Parents’ Bill of Rights that passed the House almost unanimously. That’s not leadership. That’s choosing to ignore the SC way of life. When parental rights are weakened, families pay the price. Call it what it is: anti-family. @SCSenategop @SCSenatedems @fitsnews @Moms4Liberty @PalmettoFamily
Kudos to Senators Grooms and Corbin for leading the push to restore this funding and doing right by our students!
BREAKING: South Carolina Republicans RESTORED the full 15,000 scholarships in a Senate committee. 5,000 kids won't have their scholarships ripped away.
BREAKING: South Carolina Senate Republicans adopted a committee budget proviso SHRINKING their school choice program by 33%. 5,000 kids who were already approved will have scholarships ripped away. All to protect the government school monopoly.
The South Carolina Senate Finance Committee voted today (nearly unanimously) to strip the ESA awards from 5,000 newly-accepted families looking forward to using the dollars this coming school year. It is a sad day for choice.
Announcing the launch of the South Carolina Universal School Choice Coalition! This coalition stands firm in the belief that universal choice is the best way to strengthen all educational opportunities in South Carolina. palmettopromise.org/announcing-the…
Leadership on school choice matters. Congressman @RepRalphNorman, candidate for Governor of SC, joined us in Columbia to enthusiastically sign our Universal School Choice Pledge. We’re grateful for his strong & consistent support of educational freedom for SC families.
BREAKING: South Carolina Senate leadership is reportedly threatening to put an arbitrary cap on their school choice program unless families who customize their education are kicked out. They identify as Republicans. What's going on here, @scsenategop?
Lawmakers are misinterpreting the very law they approved just last year that creates more learning opportunities, and now the state is on the brink of becoming one of the least family-friendly locales in the southeast. Read on: dailysignal.com/2026/03/06/sou… 2/2

S.692 subcommittee getting started with State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver first up. She is currently discussing the core values of the Department.
Superintendent Weaver is explaining what the Department believes the ESTF statute says. scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2…
Great article with the concept just mentioned by Superintendent Weaver: unbundling. educationnext.org/great-unbundli…
The ESTF statute contains a long list of education "buffet" options for parents. scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2…
Weaver: "we can go no further than the law requires...nor stop short of it."
SC ESTF program has much more control over the use of Trust fund dollars than other ESA states.
Weaver: ESTF school choice program is "innovation with guardrails."
