6. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Dr. Bryan Perry, Superintendent

6.1 Diploma Change Update
Dr. Bryan Perry, Superintendent
5 minutes

The diploma requirements in Indiana begin with the incoming freshman class.   The high school is working to establish paths for students based on current blueprints.  The new diploma is unlikely to be adopted by the IDOE until December 2024.  Students will be required to accumulate 42 credits including varied levels of work based learning.  In order to allow students high school options, we are looking at offering PE I and College and Careers in the 8th grade for HS credit.  Algebra will remain an option in the 8th grade for credit.  We also anticipate limiting summer school to those who are in need of credits for HS graduation.  The state continues to reduce reimbursement for summer school cost.  

Minutes

Dr. Perry and the Board discussed the changes which are expected to pass at the State level.  No Board action is required at this time.
