128.4 Earning Credit

Students can earn course credit by demonstrating mastery of the required coursework and material.   Mastery is defined as "a high level of demonstrated proficiency with regard to a competency."

Student assessment of mastery is the responsibility of the building principal.

Credit will be awarded upon satisfactory demonstration and mastery of the required course competencies.   Additionally, credit may also be awarded if a student is able to demonstrate learning experience in compliance with the district-specified curriculum and assessment standards.
