SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Certain organizations approving accreditation processes. Provides that the Board of Education may authorize, in a manner it deems appropriate, the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE) to accredit private nursery, preschool, elementary, and secondary schools, for purposes of facilitating the transfer of academic credits for students who have attended private schools and are now enrolling in public schools and to satisfy the accreditation requirement for an exemption from licensure for certain child day programs. Private schools are not required to be accredited by state law; however, they may seek accreditation from the Board of Education. In addition, various private organizations perform this accreditation function and may be approved by VCPE, which has an ongoing agreement with the Board acknowledging this arrangement.
