Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

The Virginia Department of Education (“VDOE”) annually proposes updates to the Board of Education Approved Courses to Satisfy Graduation Requirements for the Standard, Advanced Studies, and Modified Standard Diplomas in Virginia Public Schools document. The proposed changes, found in Attachment 1, include the following: ? SCED codes in mathematics updated to reflect the National SCED code database, ? Clarified language on page 17 regarding provisions in Economics and Personal Finance for students with disabilities, ? Added a table to reflect courses that can be used to meet the physical education requirement for graduation, including the addition of JROTC and Unified Physical Education as substitute courses for 9th and 10th grade physical education, and ? Minor changes to improve accuracy, readability, and formatting. The proposed updates are necessary to ensure appropriate notation of course enrollments in the Master Schedule Collection (MSC) by school divisions and that appropriate credits are used to satisfy graduation requirements, as well as to clarify answers to common questions.
