GEE Waiver
In June 2005, The Louisiana Department of Education Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted a waiver process for students with disabilities seeking a standard high school diploma. A student with a disability could be eligible to receive a high school diploma if the student passes all but one of the required components of the Graduate Exit Exam (GEE); meets all other graduation requirements; has the required documentation for the waiver request, including evidence that the student participated in remediation and how the disability(ies) that impacted the student’s inability to pass the assessment. The students eligible for the flexibility granted under this rule applies only to graduating seniors or students who have previously left school who have a disability(ies) defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).
