Virginia Code 22.1-375: Course placement.
When a student transfers into a school division before or during the school year, such school division shall initially honor placement of the student in educational courses based on the student’s enrollment in the school in the sending state or educational assessments conducted at the school in the sending state if such courses are offered. Such courses include honors, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, vocational, technical, and career pathways courses. Continuing the student’s academic program from the school in the sending state and promoting placement in academically challenging and career-challenging courses should be paramount when considering course placement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude school divisions from performing subsequent evaluations to ensure appropriate placement and continued enrollment of the student in educational courses.
