COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) A bill that would limit certain teachings on race in public schools and allow parents to challenge educational materials is moving through the Republican-controlled South Carolina House of Representatives.
Pay levels, coupled with the added stresses of the post-pandemic classroom, are behind a mass exodus away from teaching in the state. To make matters worse, there are not enough college graduates to fill the open spots.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) The South Carolina House on Wednesday passed a proposal to require all schools in the state to offer in-person classes five days a week starting the last week in April and continue to offer them next school year no matter what happens with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The House also removed from the Senate resolution a requirement that teachers be paid extra if they have to teach students both in the classroom and online.
The extra pay proposal had to be taken out because education officials and lawmakers were still working to figure out parameters like if teachers get credit for an online class if the lessons are just streamed and there is no interaction with students who are not in person, said Rep. Raye Felder, R-Fort Mill.
