§ 21-24-107 — Graduation

(a) In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of
children of military families, states and local education
agencies shall adhere to W.S. 21-2-304(a)(iii) and paragraph
(iv) of this subsection and any applicable rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder and to the extent possible incorporate
the following procedures:
(i) Local education agency administrative officials
shall use best efforts to 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 use best
efforts to provide an alternative means of acquiring required
coursework so that graduation may occur on time;
(ii) States shall accept:
(A) Exit or end-of-course exams required for
graduation from the sending state;
(B) National norm-referenced achievement tests;
or
(C) 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 senior year, then the
provisions of W.S. 21-24-107(a)(iii) shall apply.
(iii) Should a military student transferring at the
beginning or during his 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 to the extent possible 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 (1) 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 paragraphs (a)(i) and (ii) of this subsection.
