MIDDLE SCHOOL (6-8) TRANSFER STUDENTS
A student who transfers to a SDPBC public school must submit an official transcript. Grades
earned and offered for acceptance shall be accepted at face value subject to validation, if
required by the receiving school’s accreditation. (More information on AdvancED® validation,
including AdvancED® accredited agencies, is located at http://www.advanc-ed.org.) In
accordance with State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09942, if the student does not possess an
official transcript or is a Home Education student, successful completion of courses shall be
validated through performance during the first grading period.

Validation Process for Middle School (6-8)
As stated in State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09942, validation of courses shall be based on
performance in classes at the receiving school. A student transferring into a school shall be
placed at the appropriate sequential course level and should be passing each required course at
the end of the first grading period. Students who do not meet this requirement shall have
courses validated using the Alternative Validation Procedure, as outlined in the next subsection
of this Plan.
