In recognizing its responsibility to uphold the minimum educational standards of the State of Ohio, the Board of Education establishes the following policy and criteria regarding the acceptance of credits from public schools whether they are State-chartered or community schools.

For credit or course-work to be accepted for courses taken in such schools, either a copy of the charter or other assurance of compliance with the minimum requirements established by the State must be provided. Evidence of compliance shall include the use of the Trumbull County Courses of Study and/or Ohio’s Academic Content Standards for instruction.

Recognition of credits or course-work shall be granted when the proper assurance and the student's transcript has been received. The District reserves the right to assess such transfer students to determine proper grade placement and to be assured the student can demonstrate the learnings that are prerequisite to a placement.

The Superintendent shall develop the administrative guidelines necessary to implement this policy.
