New Jersey § 18a:75a-8

§ 18a:75a-8.

In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of children of military families states

and local education agencies shall incorporate the following procedures: a. Waiver requirements--Local education agency administrative officials shall waive

specific courses required for graduation if similar course work has been satisfactorily

completed in another local education agency or shall provide reasonable justification

for denial. Should a waiver not be granted to a student who would qualify to graduate from the

sending school, the local education agency shall provide an alternative means of acquiring

required coursework so that graduation may occur on time. b. Exit exams--States shall accept: (1) exit or end-of-course exams required for

graduation from the sending state; or (2) national norm-referenced achievement tests;

or (3) alternative testing, in lieu of testing requirements for graduation in the

receiving state. In the event the above alternatives cannot be accommodated by the receiving state

for a student transferring in his or her Senior year, then the provisions of subsection

c. of this section shall apply. c. Transfers during Senior year--Should a military student transferring at the beginning

or during his or her Senior year be ineligible to graduate from the receiving local

education agency after all alternatives have been considered, the sending and receiving

local education agencies shall ensure the receipt of a diploma from the sending local

education agency, if the student meets the graduation requirements of the sending

local education agency. In the event that one of the states in question is not a member of this compact,

the member state shall use best efforts to facilitate the on-time graduation of the

student in accordance with subsections a. and b. of this section.
