This bill approves updated regulations for South Carolina's statewide assessment program, specifically Regulation Document 5359. It corrects outdated references by replacing "No Child Left Behind Act" with "Every Student Succeeds Act" (ESSA) and updating the assessment name from "SCPASS" to "SC READY." These changes align the regulations with current federal law and the state's active testing program. The resolution does not alter testing requirements or policies but ensures regulatory language matches current standards.
