Or. Admin. Code § 581-021-0009 - Exemptions
(1) The school
district may excuse students from a state required program or learning
activity, where necessary, to accommodate students' disabilities or religious
beliefs:
(a) Approval of the exemption shall
be based upon and shall include:
(A) A written
request from the student's parent or guardian or the student, if the student is
18 years of age or older or a legally emancipated minor, listing the reasons
for the request and a proposed alternative for an individualized learning
activity which substitutes for the period of time exempt from the program and
meets the goals of the learning activity or course being exempt;
(B) An evaluation of the request and approval
by appropriate school personnel (the alternative should be consistent with the
student's educational progress and career goals as described in OARs
581-022-2270 and 581-022-2060).
(b) Following approval by the district school
board, and upon completion of the alternative, credit shall be granted to the
student.
(2) The school
district may approve and grant credit to a student for the alternative to a
state required program or learning activity if the procedures in section (1) of
this rule are followed.
(3)
Subsections (1) and (2) of this rule do not apply to exemption from
participating in Oregon's statewide summative assessments, which are defined as
statewide assessments used to meet both participation and performance
requirements for state and federal systems accountability. Exemption from
Oregon's statewide summative assessments is instead governed by Section 2,
chapter 519, Oregon Laws 2015 (Enrolled House Bill 2655). ODE will annually
publish notice about Oregon's statewide summative assessments and an opt-out
form as required under by Section 2, chapter 519, Oregon Laws 2015 (Enrolled
House Bill 2655).
(4) Subsection
(3) of this rule will sunset as of July 1, 2021.
