A student may not register to take a CBE test when concurrently enrolled in the course for<br />
which they are taking the examination.<br />
A student must earn a score of 70 or above on each examination taken for the purpose of<br />
acceleration (skipping a course) and for any course which the student will be achieving<br />
high school credit for the purpose of graduation listed as a part of the Required<br />
Curriculum.<br />
The grade earned on the test shall be the grade recorded on the permanent record or<br />
Academic Achievement Record. Grades lower than 70 shall not be recorded.<br />
An examination may be repeated during the next District testing cycle if a grade below 70<br />
was made.<br />
The grade recorded will not be used in calculating the GPA or for the purpose of<br />
determining class ranking.<br />
Transportation to and from the testing site is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian.<br />
Should a student be accelerated in a course offered only at another campus, it is the<br />
responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to provide transportation.<br />
Examination Approval<br />
The Board of Education shall approve exams from TTU or UT for use with the FW<strong>ISD</strong>’s<br />
credit by examination process. At a later time, based on need and availability, the District may<br />
use locally or jointly developed examinations for the purpose of acceleration.<br />
2.13 Enrollment/Withdrawal of Students (Board Policy FEC [Legal] and FEC [Local])<br />
I. A student shall be withdrawn when he or she leaves the school to enroll in another school or<br />
school-related facility.<br />
II. When a student is consistently absent from school, every effort possible should be made to locate<br />
the student and his or her parent(s) and/or guardian(s). After ten (10) consecutive school days, if<br />
the school is unable to locate said student, and this effort is verified in writing by the principal or<br />
assistant principal, the student may then be withdrawn. The withdrawal date should be the day<br />
following the student’s last day of attendance. However, documentation by memo of the student’s<br />
absences and the school’s effort to locate said student should be placed in the cumulative record.<br />
Absences caused by homelessness should not be counted against students. Zero tolerance rules<br />
must address realities of homelessness and not create a barrier to enrollment or school retention.<br />
III. The following leaver codes/descriptions are to be used for student withdrawals:<br />
