General Information
Action Summary The Regulations Governing Adult High School Programs (8 VAC 20-30-10 et seq.) were last amended in 1985 and are not currently consistent with the Regulations Establishing the Standards for Accrediting Public Schools in Virginia. (8 VAC 20-131-10 et seq.). The purpose of this intended regulatory action is twofold. First, adult high school programs, where adults are able to earn a standard or advanced studies diploma, will be required to maintain the same high standards as regular day school programs. Second, the change provides a high-standard alternative diploma, to be named the Adult High School Diploma, for adults who are unable to complete the current requirements for a Standard or Advanced Studies Diploma.
