				  activities as planning, preparation, meetings, workshops, conferences, meal
				  intermissions, or other contractual obligations.

				  noncompleters are those individuals who have been officially admitted into the

				  assessment of basic skills as prescribed by the Board of Education for
				  individuals seeking entry into an approved education endorsement program.

				  Board of Education prescribed entry-level assessments;
b. Documentation that candidates enrolled in
				  the program who fail to achieve a minimum score established by the Board of
				  Education have the opportunity to address deficiencies; and
