January 10, 2005, the State Board of Education gave final approval to revised Rules Governing Standards for Accreditation. However, the revised Rules Governing Standards have not been released to the public because the revised proposed rules have not completed the legislative review process. Additional revisions of Rules Governing Standards will be required based on enactments of the 85th General Assembly of 2005. A copy of the Proposed Rules Governing Standards for Accreditation is attached to this memo and noted changes are underlined.
To assist districts and schools with Career Action Planning (CAP) conferences and student scheduling, this communication includes revised proposed Standard Rule 14.0 Graduation Requirements.
Other proposed revisions include:
1. 190-day minimum contracted days to include ten (10) days or 60 hours of professional development (Standard Rule 10.01);
2. K-12 communication with parents requiring no fewer than two (2) scheduled parent-teacher conferences each year (Standard Rule 12.04); and
3. Three (3) hours of parental involvement for administrators to be included in the 60 hours of professional development (Standard Rule 15.04).
