Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes
On March 23, 2020, Governor Ralph Northam ordered that all K-12 schools close for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year in an effort to control the spread of COVID-19. This announcement was an extension of the earlier closure order issued by Governor Northam on March 13, 2020. Recognizing the impact that such an extended closure has on students enrolled in high school credit-bearing courses, the Board of Education has put forth emergency guidelines on the awarding of standard units of credit. These emergency guidelines are meant to supplement the Guidelines for Graduation Requirements: Local Alternative Paths to Standard Units of Credit (Alternatives to the 140- Clock-hour Requirement), which was adopted by the Board of Education on October 22, 2015. The original 2015 Guidelines for Graduation Requirements remain in effect for the purpose of awarding standard units of credit before or beyond the spring of 2020. Due to the declared state of emergency, these emergency guidelines are effective immediately, April 2, 2020.
