§ 3307. Graduation. In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of\nchildren of military families, states and local educational agencies\nshall incorporate the following procedures:\n 1. Local educational agency administrative officials shall waive\nspecific courses required for graduation if similar coursework has been\nsatisfactorily completed in another local educational agency or shall\nprovide reasonable justification for denial. Should a waiver not be\ngranted to a student who would qualify to graduate from the sending\nschool, the local educational agency shall provide an alternative means\nof acquiring required coursework so that graduation may occur on time.\n 2. States shall accept (a) exit or end-of-course exams required for\ngraduation from the sending state, (b) national norm referenced\nachievement tests or (c) alternative testing, in lieu of testing\nrequirements for graduation in the receiving state. In the event the\nabove alternatives cannot be accommodated by the receiving state for a\nstudent transferring in his or her senior year, then the provisions of\nsubdivision three of this section shall apply.\n 3. Should a military student transferring at the beginning or during\nhis or her senior year be ineligible to graduate from the receiving\nlocal educational agency after all alternatives have been considered,\nthe sending and receiving local educational agencies shall ensure the\nreceipt of a diploma from the sending local educational agency, if the\nstudent meets the graduation requirements of the sending local\neducational agency. In the event that one of the states in question is\nnot a member of this compact, the member state shall use best efforts to\nfacilitate the on-time graduation of the student in accordance with\nsubdivisions one and two of this section.\n
