The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) is seeking public review and feedback on the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Visual and Performing Arts Proficiency Standards.
“The established cyclical review process provides an opportunity to ensure South Carolina’s high-quality standards are based on current research and proven practices to meet the varied educational needs of our state’s students,” said Kristi Austion, Ph.D., Director of Assessment and Standards. “We invite everyone to review the draft document and share your insights by 5 p.m. on [Friday] May 30, 2025. Your feedback is invaluable, and it can be submitted anonymously through our easy-to-use survey.”

Following the public review period, necessary revisions will be made to the draft document. The standards will then be submitted to the State Board of Education for final approval. Questions regarding this process can be directed to Roger Simpson in the SCDE Office of Assessment and Standards at rsimpson@ed.sc.gov.
