Vermont § 1545 - Credits and grades earned

§ 1545. Credits and grades earned

• (a) Grades earned in a course offered within a CTE program approved by the State Board
  shall not be altered by any public school or approved or recognized independent school
  in Vermont and shall be applied by the school toward any State graduation requirements
  in accordance with rules adopted by the State Board. Any State Board rules regarding
  earning of credits shall allow flexibility with respect to the integration of CTE
  education and other academic courses. (b) The credits earned for a career technical education program approved by the State
  Board shall be honored by any public or independent school within Vermont. If necessary
  to enable a student to participate in career technical education and graduate with
  his or her class, the credits earned shall be applied toward any school district or
  independent school graduation requirements exceeding the minimum number of credits
  required by the State Board. The school board of the high school from which the student
  wishes to graduate shall make a determination as to whether the credits shall be applied
  toward graduation requirements. A decision of a school board may be appealed to the
  Secretary who shall construe this section to favor participation in career technical
  education. (c) For any student attending the Vermont Academy for Science and Technology pursuant
  to subsection 4011(e) of this title, the credits and grades earned shall, upon request of the student or the student’s
  parent or guardian, be applied toward graduation requirements at the Vermont high
  school that the student attended prior to enrolling in the Academy. (Added 1997, No. 138 (Adj. Sess.), § 8; amended 2001, No. 149 (Adj. Sess.), § 68, eff. June 27, 2002; 2003, No. 36, § 20; 2013, No. 77, § 9; 2013, No. 92 (Adj. Sess.), § 149, eff. Feb. 14, 2014.)
