Sec. 7. ARTICLE VII. GRADUATION
To facilitate the on time graduation of children of military families, states and local education agencies shall follow the following procedures:
A. Local education agency administrative officials shall waive specific courses required for graduation if a student has satisfactorily completed similar course work in another local education agency. If a local education agency does not grant a waiver to a student who would qualify to graduate from the sending school, the local education agency must provide reasonable justification for denial of the waiver and provide alternative means to acquire the required course work so the student may graduate on time.
B. A receiving state shall accept any of the following in place of testing requirements for graduation in the receiving state:
1. Exit or end of course exams required for graduation from the sending state.
2. National norm referenced achievement tests.
3. Alternative testing.
If a receiving state fails to accept an alternative listed in this paragraph for a student transferring during the student's senior year, paragraph C applies.
C. If a student who transfers at the beginning of the student's senior year is ineligible to graduate from the receiving local education agency after all alternatives under paragraph B 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. If a sending or receiving state is not a member state, the state that is a member state shall use best efforts to facilitate the on time graduation of the student under paragraphs A and B.
