“D. Out of this appropriation, $300,000
the first year and $300,000 the second year from the general fund is provided
for a verified credit in high school in history and social science. In
establishing graduation requirements, the State Board of Education shall
require students to earn one verified credit in history and social science.
Such verified credit shall be earned only by (i) the successful completion of a
Board-developed end-of-course Standards of Learning assessment; (ii)
achievement of a passing score on a Board-approved standardized test
administered on a statewide, multistate, or international basis that measures
content that incorporates or exceeds the Standards of Learning content in the
course for which the verified credit is given; (iii) achievement of criteria
for the receipt of a locally awarded verified credit from the local school
board in accordance with criteria established in Board guidelines when the
student has not passed a corresponding Standards of Learning assessment; or
(iv) demonstrate mastery of the content of the associated course on a Board-developed
authentic performance assessment in accordance with Board guidelines
establishing rubrics and criteria for division scoring. Such end-of-course
Standards of Learning Assessment shall not be a performance-based assessment.”.
