Students who met standard on state exams may recover credit for previously failed courses in the following manner:

A.   Math

a.    Students may recover one-half (0.5) credit for Algebra or Geometry on a state math assessment or approved state             alternative that meets the graduation pathway requirement.

B.   Science

a.    Students may recover one-half (0.5) Biology credit for a previously failed Biology course by meeting standard on the         state science assessment.

C.   Language Arts

a.    Students may recover one-half (0.5) credit for a previously failed 9th or 10th grade required Language Arts course by         meeting standard on a state assessment in ELA or approved state alternative that meets the graduation pathway               requirement.

In all the situations outlined above a unique course code will be created and will substitute for a course that was previously failed. Failed courses will remain on the student’s official transcript.
