Administrative Rules Hearing – PI 5 (High School Equivalency Diplomas and Certificates of General Educational Development)

Event Description

Public hearing to accept public testimony on a proposed permanent rule amending ch. PI 5 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code related to age waivers for general educational development tests.

The proposed rule revises the means in which certain students that are at least 17 years of age and are seeking a certificate of educational development may complete the general educational development (GED) test. The proposed rule will repeal the current rule requirement which provides that eligible students that are least 17 years of age must wait to take the final GED test until the end of the semester in which the student turns 18 years of age, thereby allowing students to take the test when they are ready to do so.

The department will hold the public hearing by teleconference only. Written comments received no later than the date of the hearing will be given the same consideration as testimony presented at the hearing.
A copy of the proposed rule is available on the department's Administrative Rules webpage or the Wisconsin Legislature Rules site. Written testimony may be submitted by April 12 online. Questions or additional testimony may be sent to the department's administrative rules coordinator by e-mail.
