Certified Staff Technology Proficiency

Effective July 1, 2022, the Certified Staff Technology Proficiency proviso was deleted from state law. However, the South Carolina Department of Education “strongly encourages all districts to include technology provisions in their strategic plans” and “strongly encourages districts to invest in supports for educators to acquire and maintain technology proficiency.”

Due to this recommendation, the Certified Staff Technology Proficiency requirement of three hours of technology-based professional development has been added to Strategy 3.3 of the Fort Mill School District’s strategic plan, which was approved by the School Board and the South Carolina Department of Education. Data will be collected for yearly reports that will be sent to school administrators to show the percentage of certified staff that have met the requirement.
