SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Education proposes to amend R.43-262.4 in response to requests from parents. Students who take two courses based on the same academic standards for which there is an end-of-course test would take the test for the first course and the score would count as 20% of the final grade. If the student passes the first course, the second course would not be a gateway course for that student. The student would not take an end-of-course test for the second course and the student's final grade would be calculated without an end-of-course score.

A Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on July 22, 2011.
