According to the South Carolina Education and Economic and Development Act & SC Code of Laws SECTION 59-59-120 which limits the activities of guidance counselors and career specialists, "School guidance counselors and career specialists shall limit their activities to guidance and counseling and may not perform administrative tasks"
