South Carolina Bill Will Permit High School Credit For Released Time Courses

The Associated Press reports that yesterday, the South Carolina House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow high school students to receive two elective course credits for taking off-campus released-time religion classes that currently they may take only on a non-credit basis. S0148 passed the House by a vote of 94-15. The bill must now go back to the Senate which passed the bill last month in slightly different form.
