Abstract
In alignment with South Carolina’s commitment to meaningful assessment practices, Proviso 1.118 for Fiscal Year 2025–26 establishes clear boundaries around the use of district-selected benchmark assessments in determining student grades. This proviso reinforces the role of formative assessments as tools for instructional support rather than evaluative measures tied to final grades. This document provides clarification, frequently asked questions, and recommended practices to ensure districts remain in compliance with the proviso and uphold the integrity of the instructional assessment practices.
