[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot opt out of SOLs in high school unless you are on a non-diploma track. An IEP can give you some accommodations on them. [/quote]

OP here. For a standard diploma it seems like there are a lot of ways to go about getting credit. Is that going to change?[/quote]

Same poster that you’re replying to. I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. There’s virtually no difference between a standard and an advanced diploma other than the number of credits taken. For example, a standard diploma requires 3 history courses while an advanced diploma requires 4. Regardless of standard or advanced diploma, your child will need to take a handful of SOLs. [/quote]

My understanding was that there are more “credit accommodations” for standard diplomas. Is that still going to be true?

There were supposedly, but I could never get straight answers before change, and I asked with a PSL there. Luckily my kid passed the SOL I was most concerned about. Some of her friends got to do a PBL project in place of the History SOL they didn't pass. I think you have to fail at a certain level to qualify-where you were a few questions away as opposed to many questions away.  I suspect there will be a plan in place with the new criteria and it will be kept hidden, but if your kid needs it, it will eventually be discussed at an IEP meeting.[/quote]
