Abstract
The South Carolina Legislature voted the Comprehensive Health Education Act into law in 1988. Addressing the crucial need for the direct and active involvement of the state’s public schools in the health and well-being of their students, the Act uses a key concept of “comprehensive health education” as the basis of its mandates: health education in a school setting that is planned and carried out with the purpose of maintaining, reinforcing, or enhancing the health, health-related skills, and health attitudes and practices of children and youth that are conducive to their good health and that promote wellness, health maintenance, and disease prevention. It includes age-appropriate, sequential instruction in health either as part of existing courses or as a special course. (S.C. Code Ann. § 59-32-10)
