Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Policy
Credit Recovery Policy
CBEM shall adopt policies and programs that allow
								students to recover credit for failed high school courses. Researched-based
								successful credit recovery programs require students to successfully master
								content rather than repeat an entire course. A county may also choose to offer
								a face-to-face, teacher-led credit recovery option utilizing their own
								instructional resources. When a student retakes a failed course through credit
								recovery both grades shall be transcribed and the county credit recovery policy
								or grading policy will determine how the GPA is calculated.
County Virtual Instruction Program
								Policy
A full-time or blended virtual school program
								beyond the WVVS requires CBEM or a multi-county consortium to adopt a virtual
								instruction program policy (W. Va. Code § 18-5F-1) for one or more schools
								serving any composition of grades Kindergarten through 12. When there is a
								multi-county consortium, each county in the consortium shall adopt a policy
								creating the virtual instruction program. No eligible students in grades
								Kindergarten through 5 may participate in a virtual instruction program until
								after the program has been in operation for one full school year. See Appendix
								C, Virtual Learning, for more information.
Dual Credit Policy
CBEM shall adopt a policy (W. Va. Code
								§18B-1-1) that allows students to earn credit for completion of college
								courses and other advanced courses outside the school setting. Dual credit
								policies and revisions must be reviewed by the WVDE. If dual credit courses are
								used to meet graduation requirements, the alignment documentation must be
								reviewed by the WVDE. Counties must annually update dual credit course
								offerings in the online dual credit application.
Embedded Credit Policy
CBEM are encouraged to establish policy which
								permits a student who masters the approved content standards for a
								credit-bearing high school course that are embedded within a second course to
								receive credit for both courses. If these embedded credit courses are used to
								meet graduation requirements, the county policy and alignment documentation
								must be reviewed by the WVDE and approved by the WVBE.
Extended Learning Opportunities Policy
CBEM shall adopt an alternative education
								opportunities policy that facilitates implementation and participation in
								extended learning opportunity elective credit programs.
Grading Policy
CBEM shall adopt a policy for grading. The Uniform
								Grading Scale outlined in this policy shall be utilized for all credit bearing
								courses. The policy should also address GPA calculations.
Home School Policy
CBEM shall develop a policy for the process of
								enrolling a home school student into a public school.
Note: A West Virginia student or a student from
								another state who is eligible to enroll in a public school in this state shall
								be enrolled in the same grade in a public school in West Virginia as the
								student was enrolled at the school or program from which the student
								transferred (W. Va. Code §18-8-la.C).
Homework Policy
CBEM shall adopt a policy for student
								homework.
Instructional Resources
CBEM shall adopt a policy regarding the adoption of
								instructional resources per Policy 2445.40.
