Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. §1. The Board of Education shall develop and adopt policies relating to supporting Students with Limited and/or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE students) in staying in and graduating from, or otherwise completing, high school in the Commonwealth. In developing such policies, the Board shall develop a formula for calculating high school drop-out rates and a formula for calculating high school graduation rates that do not include in such calculations any SLIFE student who dropped out if such student had not yet been enrolled in a public high school in the Commonwealth for at least four semesters.
