§ 20-2-2161 - Course placement - Georgia Statutes

O.C.G.A. 20-2-2161 (2010)
20-2-2161. Course placement

When the student transfers before or during the school year, the local school system shall initially honor placement of the student in educational courses based on the student's enrollment in the sending state school or educational assessments conducted at the school in the sending state, if the courses are offered. Course placement includes but is not limited to honors, international baccalaureate, advanced placement, vocational, technical, and career pathways courses. Continuing the student's academic program from the previous school and promoting placement in academically and career challenging courses should be paramount when considering placement. Nothing in this Code section shall preclude the local school system from performing subsequent evaluations to ensure appropriate placement and continued enrollment of the student in any course.
