S.C. Code Regs. § 43-206
Any teacher who fails to comply with the provisions of his contract without the written consent of the school board shall be deemed guilty of unprofessional conduct. A breach of contract resulting from the execution of an employment contract with another board within the State without the consent of the board first employing the teacher makes void any subsequent contract with any other school district in South Carolina for the same employment period. Upon the formal complaint of the school board, substantiated by conclusive evidence, the State Board shall give notice to the said teacher by registered mail to appear before the State Board of Education to show cause why such teacher's certificate should not be revoked or suspended, the notice to contain the information that the teacher is entitled to counsel if he so desires and to bring counsel with him to the meeting. If the teacher fails to appear before the State Board, or if the teacher does appear and the said Board rules that such teacher did not have sufficient cause for terminating the contract, the said Board shall suspend or revoke the teacher's certificate, for a period not to exceed one calendar year. State education agencies in other states with reciprocal certification agreements shall be notified of the revocation of the certificate.
The term "teacher" as herein used shall include all school personnel required to be certified by the State Board of Education.
