Revising Board of Education Guidelines for Waiver of Verified Credit for Certain Transfer Students
Resolution Number 2004-10
February 25, 2004
Resolved:
The Board of Education approves striking the conflicting language from the guidelines and adding the clarification of 90 calendar days. The revised guideline read as follows (revised language is underlined):
Local school boards, through the division superintendent, may request waivers of the verified credit requirement for students subject to those requirements by providing a written request to the Department of Education no more than 90 calendar days prior to the student's anticipated graduation date. The request for a waiver shall be submitted on forms provided by the Department of Education and include documentation that the student transferred from outside the state within a time frame that would not allow the student to meet the reduced verified credit provisions of 8 VAC 20-131-60.F. of the standards and what efforts had been made to comply with the standard.
