This bill requires calculating and applying partial credits when a high-school-age foster youth must transfer schools according to a best interest determination. The state board of education must develop guidelines for calculating partial credits, and local school boards must establish policies for calculating and accepting transfer credits and prioritizing the application of earned credits to core credit requirements. Also, it permits foster youth who are forced to transfer schools to graduate by meeting the minimum requirements set by the state board of education.
