Challenging Courses by Examination

CHALLENGING COURSES BY EXAMINATION
| Note: NCAA schools require college-bound student athletes to build a foundation of high school courses to prepare them for the academic expectation in college. Credit-by-exam courses are not considered NCAA-approved core courses. |
Procedures enabling qualified high school students to challenge courses offered to meet graduation requirements shall be established by the Superintendent, subject to favorable review by the Board.
The School District shall provide the opportunity for students enrolled in a secondary school in the district to challenge a course provided by the district by demonstrating mastery in mathematics, language arts, science, social studies, and world languages at the level of the course challenged. The School District shall give full credit for a course to a student who successfully challenges that course as provided under this section.
