The K-12 subcommittee of the House Education and Public Works Committee casted a ballot 4-2 Tuesday to propel a bill composed by S.C. Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, and S.C. Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Charleston, that would permit some non-public school understudies to go for and play in state funded school sports groups on the off chance that the tuition based school doesn't offer the game.
The bill would likewise permit government funded schools to contract with tuition based schools to permit state funded school understudies to play in tuition based school groups on the off chance that the state funded school doesn't offer the game.
The vote fell along partisan loyalties with the four Republicans on the subcommittee - Chairwoman Raye Felder, R-York; Lin Bennett and Case Brittain, R-Horry; and Gil Gatch, R-Dorchester; - casting a ballot in favor. Leftists Terry Alexander, D-Florence; and Michael Rivers, D-Beaufort; casted a ballot against.
South Carolina High School League Commissioner Jerome Singleton affirmed before the subcommittee. He said he was concerned the bill would make an inconsistent norm for public and tuition based school understudies. He said state funded school understudies aren't offered the choice to go to an alternate school if their school doesn't offer a game they need to play.
He likewise scrutinized the impacts of the bill on the realignment the association does occasionally. Singleton said he needed to know how the association ought to ascertain the tuition based school understudies signing up for state funded schools.
Singleton said he had spoken with Spencer Jordan, the leader overseer of the South Carolina Independent Schools Association, the main non-public school association in South Carolina, who shared a significant number of similar worries. He said neither could suggest endorsement of the bill as composed.
Nolan Wiggins of Lexington - who said he moved on from North Augusta High School - affirmed before the panel. He said he and his better half faltered in sending their little girls to a Lexington non-public school in light of the fact that the school didn't offer games. They in the end chose to do so yet added the bill would pursue the choice simpler for them.
The bill is like the state's Tim Tebow regulation that permits self-taught understudies, lead representative's school understudies and contract school understudies to play in government funded school groups.
Tebow is a previous All-American quarterback and Heisman prize champ at the University of Florida. In secondary school, Tebow was self-taught yet permitted to play in a state funded school group because of a Florida regulation. After his outcome in school, many states took on regulations like Florida's.
The bill permits youngsters going to non-public schools with under 200 understudies to go for and play a game for a state funded school as long as the non-public school doesn't offer the game and the non-public school isn't an individual from the South Carolina High School League.
