 the student is a Home Education student without an official transcript from an educational
institution or program.

High School Validation Process for High School (9-12)
As stated in State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09941, validation of credits shall be based on
performance in courses at the receiving school. A student transferring into a school shall be
placed in the appropriate sequential course(s) and must have a minimum Grade Point Average
(GPA) of 2.0 being validated at the end of the first grading period the student is enrolled.
Students who do not meet this requirement shall have credits validated using the Alternative
Validation Procedure, as outlined in the next subsection of this Plan.

The grade of “P” (Pass) is used when validating/granting transfer credits for coursework when
an official transcript or grades that equate to those used in SDPBC cannot be obtained. It is also
used when “P” is specified on an official transcript. A grade of “P” is a transcript grade only, not
a report card grade. It gives credit for coursework, but does not affect the GPA.

Alternative Validation Procedure for High School (9-12)

As stated in State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09941, if validation based on performance as
described above is not satisfactory, or when it is not applicable because there is no sequential
course, then any one of the following alternatives shall be used for validation purposes as
determined by the teacher, principal, and parent(s):

1. portfolio evaluation by the Superintendent/designee;
2. written recommendation by a Florida certified teacher selected by the parent(s) and
approved by the principal;

3. satisfactory performance in courses taken through Dual Enrollment or at other public or
private accredited schools;
4. satisfactory proficiencies on nationally-normed standardized subject area assessments;

5. satisfactory proficiencies on a Florida Standards Assessment (FSA); or
6. written review of the criteria utilized for a given subject provided by the former school.

Students should be provided at least 90 calendar days from date of transfer to prepare for
nationally-normed standardized subject area assessments, statewide standardized, or EOC
Assessment outlined above, if required.

The student's custodial parent(s) may appeal the placement decision to the School District
Superintendent/designee within 14 calendar days of the principal's decision.
