5463 - CREDITS FROM NONCHARTERED SCHOOLS
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 nonchartered private schools.
For credit or course work to be accepted for courses taken in a nonchartered private school:
| A. | the course was taught by a licensed teacher; | |
| B. | the course met at least 120 hours per year for instruction if it was a regular academic course or the total hours per year as set forth in the State Minimum Standards if it was other than a regular academic course; | |
| C. | the course content is comparable to District established courses of study. |
All students, grades one (1) through twelve (12), entering from a nonchartered private school may be given an individual achievement test which will be used as an aid in placing these students.
Recognition of credits or course work from a nonchartered private school shall be granted when the above criteria are satisfied upon completion of the first year of transfer if the student demonstrates through successful performance in the regular classroom that s/he has mastered the previous courses.
Although credits from nonchartered schools may be granted and placed on a student's transcript, no grades will be entered on the transcript or considered for class ranking. Only grades awarded for courses taken at the District or at a school approved or chartered by a State education agency shall be considered in class ranking and for entering on the transcript.
