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 the proposed document, include the following: updated language regarding the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and advanced diploma requirements; updated to include additional International Baccalaureate (IB) courses for non IB Diploma students to satisfy Virginia graduation requirements for advanced diplomas; updated PE requirement to include all JROTC branches; and updated school year for approved courses to 2021-present to allow current high school students to get credit for courses completed in high school. 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.
