The District shall not limit or restrict the right of an ESE student solely to a Special Diploma or Certificate of Completion. An ESE student shall be afforded the opportunity to fully meet all requirements for a Standard Diploma. Students' testing options and their corresponding implications shall be discussed with parents at the annual IEP review with documentation made on the IEP of exemption from or inclusion in the assessment program for the following school year.

The student's inability to complete the required coursework is not due to excessive or extended absences or the result of social, cultural, or economic differences. The student is unable to apply or use academic skills at a minimal competency level in the home, community, or work site. Test Modifications and Accommodations.
