§ 22.1-380. Graduation; waivers and exit exams.

2. School division administrative officials shall accept, in lieu of testing requirements for graduation in the Commonwealth, (i) exit or end-of-course exams required for graduation from the sending state, (ii) national norm-referenced achievement tests, or (iii) alternative testing acceptable in the Commonwealth.
