Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. If a charter school provides instruction to pupils enrolled in a high school grade level and the charter school requires those pupils to satisfy requirements for graduation from high school that are less than the requirements imposed by the school district in which the charter school is located, the charter school shall not issue a high school diploma of the school district but may issue a high school diploma which clearly indicates that it is a diploma issued by a charter school. If a charter school requires its pupils to satisfy requirements for graduation from high school that meet or exceed the requirements of the school district in which the charter school is located, the charter school may issue a high school diploma of the school district or a high school diploma of the charter school.

2. A charter school shall submit the form for a diploma of the charter school to the Department for approval if the form differs from the form of the school district in which the charter school is located.

3. The provisions of this section do not:

(a) Authorize a charter school to impose requirements for graduation from high school that are less than the requirements of the applicable state statutes and regulations.

(b) Require a charter school that imposes requirements for graduation from high school that are more stringent than the requirements of applicable state statutes and regulations and more stringent than the requirements of the school district in which the charter school is located to issue a high school diploma to a pupil who has not met the requirements for graduation from the charter school even if the pupil has met the requirements of applicable state statutes and regulations or the requirements of the school district in which the charter school is located.
