Section CXV-2324 - Credit Recovery Courses and Units

1. Beginning in 2020-2021, LEA credit recovery program and policy will be included in the local pupil progression plan submitted to LDE.

2. Students may earn a maximum of seven credit recovery units that may be applied towards diploma graduation requirements and no more than two Carnegie units annually. The school system must annually report to LDE the rationale for any student:

3. Students earning Carnegie credit in a credit recovery course must have previously taken and failed the course. Previously-attempted coursework is considered an academic record and must be recorded on the official transcript.

4. Completed credit recovery courses must be recorded and clearly labeled on the official transcript.

5. Students enrolled in credit recovery courses are not required to meet the instructional minute requirements found in§333 Aof this Part.

6. Credit recovery courses must be aligned with state content standards and include a standards-aligned pre-assessment to identify unfinished learning and a standards-aligned post-assessment to demonstrate course proficiency for content identified as non-proficient.

7. Credit recovery courses taught in a classroom setting using online courses designed for credit recovery must have an assigned certified Louisiana teacher of record or certified teacher of record recognized through a state reciprocity agreement facilitating the instruction.

8. The end-of-course exam weight in a student's final grade determined by the LEA must be the same for a traditional course and a credit recovery course. Students who have previously passed the end-of-course exam, but have failed the course, may choose to retain the previous end-of-course exam score in lieu of participating in an additional administration of the exam.
