Locally Awarded Verified Credits
VDOE has set no maximum number of locally awarded verified credits that a student with a disability (IDEA/504) may earn towards a standard diploma.
Local school divisions must ensure that this flexibility to offer locally awarded verified credits in reading, writing and math only applies to students with disabilities (IDEA and 504) who are eligible for credit accommodations as stipulated in each student’s IEP/504 plan.

Economics and Personal Finance Graduation Requirement
The Personal Finance (3120) course has been revised to include the 21 Workplace Readiness Skills (WRS) for the Commonwealth.
The course will meet the Economics and Personal Finance requirement if the student has earned at least 3 standard credits in history and social science. ◦ The economics strand in these courses would be deemed a credit
accommodation. Upon completion of the revised Personal Finance (3120)
course, the student may take the WRS assessment to earn the Board-approved Workplace Readiness Skills for the Commonwealth credential.
This approach would satisfy the graduation requirements for economics and personal finance, history and social sciences, and the industry credential. Source: Superintendent’s Memorandum No. 105-13, April 19, 2013. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/administrators/superintendents_memos/2013/105-13.shtml
