§ 16-92-8. Graduation.
In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of children of military families states
and local education agencies shall incorporate the following procedures:
(1) Waiver requirements. Local education agency administrative officials shall waive specific courses required
for graduation if similar course work has been satisfactorily completed in another
local education agency or shall provide reasonable justification for denial. Should
a waiver not be granted to a student who would qualify to graduate from the sending
school, the local education agency shall provide an alternative means of acquiring
required coursework so that graduation may occur on time.
(2) Exit exams. States shall accept: (i) exit or end-of-course exams required for graduation from
the sending state; or (ii) national norm-referenced achievement tests; or (iii) alternative
testing, in lieu of testing requirements for graduation in the receiving state. In
the event the above alternatives cannot be accommodated by the receiving state for
a student transferring in his or her senior year, then the provisions of subdivision
(3) of this section shall apply.
(3) Transfers during senior year. Should a military student transferring at the beginning or during his or her senior
year be ineligible to graduate from the receiving local education agency after all
alternatives have been considered, the sending and receiving local education agencies
shall ensure the receipt of a diploma from the sending local education agency, if
the student meets the graduation requirements of the sending local education agency.
In the event that one of the states in question is not a member of this compact, the
member state shall use best efforts to facilitate the on-time graduation of the student
in accordance with subdivisions (1) and (2) of this section.
