§ 20-2-2180 - Procedures for timely graduation

O.C.G.A. 20-2-2180 (2010)
20-2-2180. Procedures for timely graduation


In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of children of military families, states and local school systems shall incorporate the following procedures:

(1) Local school systems 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 school system shall provide an alternative means of acquiring required course work so that graduation may occur on time;

(2) Local school systems shall accept exit or end-of-course exams required for graduation from the sending state, national norm-referenced achievement tests, or alternative testing in lieu of testing requirements for graduation in this state; and

(3) 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 local school system shall coordinate with the sending local education agency to ensure the receipt of a diploma.
