Idaho Statutes Title 33. Education § 33-6404. Credit for prior knowledge

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(1) Starting in fiscal year 2023, a high school student may request credit for a course by demonstrating an understanding of subject area content standards. The board of each school district and public charter school shall adopt a policy to:

(a) Provide a process through which a student may request credit for prior knowledge;

(b) Establish methods by which a student can demonstrate knowledge of the subject area content. Methods may include but are not limited to:

(i) Assessments;

(ii) Performance-based assessments;

(iii) Presentations, major projects, or papers;

(iv) Performance or portfolios; or

(v) Other methods independent of instructional time and credit hours;

(c) Determine the qualifying score or grade, the minimum of which should not exceed eighty percent (80%), that a student must earn in order to receive a pass and earn credit for a course.

(2) If a student earns credit under this section, then the student shall be counted as having completed all required coursework for that course and, if applicable, the prerequisite requirements that the course satisfies. A course for which a student is awarded credit under this section shall also be counted as satisfying the equivalent number of credits toward the student's graduation requirements.

(3) If credit is earned under this section, a student may not subsequently receive credit for a course earlier in the course sequence in the same subject area.
