RELATES TO: KRS 156.031, 156.160, 158.140
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 156.031 requires that administrative regulations relating to statutes amended by the 1990 Kentucky Education Reform Act be reviewed, amended if necessary and resubmitted to the Legislative Research Commission prior to December 30, 1990; KRS 156.160 requires the State Board for Elementary and Secondary Education to adopt administrative regulations setting forth the courses of study for the different grades and the minimum requirements for high school graduation; and KRS 158.140 mandates the assignment of a pupil to the class or grade to which the pupil is best suited. This administrative regulation prescribes procedures for recognition of credits for graduation from a public secondary school upon transfer from a nonaccredited secondary school and for the awarding of credit upon transfer to a public secondary school without a proper transcript being reasonably available.
Section 1. For the purposes of this administrative regulation, a "nonaccredited secondary school" is a school enrolling students for secondary school instruction when that school is not recognized as accredited, or voluntarily complying with accreditation standards, by one (1) of the fifty (50) state departments of education or one (1) of the seven (7) independent regional accrediting associations. A "nonaccredited secondary school" in Kentucky shall be any private school not certified pursuant to KRS 156.160(3).
Section 2.
Section 3. A student desiring recognition of previous credits toward graduation upon entering a public secondary school without a properly certified transcript, and for whom a properly certified transcript cannot reasonably be obtained, shall be placed and awarded credit as outlined in Section 2 of this administrative regulation.
