ITEMS
B. Motion to approve a request for a
special education waiver for CWCS student #42946 to receive his high school
diploma, pursuant to Education Code Section 60851(c).
Recommendation: for
the above named student to receive a high school diploma. He has passed both portions of the CAHSEE
using modifications in math and has met the following requirements:
An individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504
Plan is in place that requires a modification to be provided to the student
when taking the CAHSEE;
The equivalent of a passing score has been obtained on
the CAHSEE using a modification; and
Sufficient high school-level coursework has been either
satisfactorily completed or is in progress in a high school-level
curriculum sufficient to have attained the skills and knowledge otherwise
needed to pass the CAHSEE.
The parent (or adult student) has notified the Special
Education Department in writing or through the IEP process that s/he would
like to pursue the granting of a waiver to receive a regular high school
diploma.
Connecting Waters Charter School Board considers and
approves the use of a modification for the CAHSEE requirement for the part
or parts of the exam that were modified, and recommends the waiver be
approved.
