WA State Auditor’s Office (SAO) SAO is analyzing student outcomes and data and interviewing selected school districts and their program partners to learn more about innovative approaches that are being used to develop and sustain existing CTE programs. The goal is to provide practices that school districts can use to help inform them about approaches that have been successful in and out of state and may potentially benefit their district. The Secondary CTE Outcomes Performance Audit will seek to answer the following:  What are the education and employment outcomes of Washington secondary students who concentrate in our complete a CTE program?  Are secondary CTE course offerings aligned with state, regional and local workforce needs?  Are there leading practices that could be identified and shared to increase the success of other program providers?

WA State Auditor’s Office (SAO) The compliance audits will focus on the following three areas: 1.Does the CTE course have current approval by OSPI? 2.Is the teacher WA State CTE certificated? 3.Does the CTE endorsement tie to the CTE course they are teaching? Do the CIP Codes align with the V Codes?

CTE Student Leadership

The “two-for-one” policy is a rule change (WAC ) in effect for students in the graduating class of Students who take CTE- equivalent courses may satisfy two graduation requirements while earning one credit for a single course; hence, “two-for-one.” The purpose of this policy is to create flexibility for students to choose more elective courses or to address other graduation requirements. A CTE-equivalent course consists of two courses: one CTE, one academic. One of those courses is placed on the student’s transcript for credit. Students generally choose which course they want placed on the transcript, and this choice is driven by their High School and Beyond Plan. This practice will remain the same. Under the rule in effect through the class of 2015, WAC , the student earns one credit and satisfies one graduation requirement.WAC Two-For-One

The new policy will permit the second course to be “checked off” as a “met requirement” by local counseling staff. Which course is put on the transcript and which one is locally “checked off” will continue to be determined by the student, based on their post high school goals. The total number of credits the student needs to graduate will not change. Districts will continue to use a locally-developed process to enable the record-keeping needed to assure that all requirements have been met. Currently, the standardized transcript does not track the types of credits applied to courses. Two-For-One

Dual-Credit Tech Prep serves students in grades All Tech Prep dual credit classes are taken on the high school campus and are identified as Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. CTE classes integrate academics with technical skill development to help prepare students for advanced education and careers related to "professional-technical" occupations. 125% credit rule for financial aid. The rule establishes the maximum timeframe for state financial aid eligibility, meaning that the recipients must have completed less than 125 percent of the maximum length of their program in order to remain eligible for financial aid such as the State Need Grant (the maximum length for Federal financial aid is 150%). I’m attaching a link to the Running Start document that explains the rule with examples on page 3: staff/programs-services/running-start/2015-rs-faqs.pdfhttps:// staff/programs-services/running-start/2015-rs-faqs.pdf

Jobs for Washington Graduates are part of Jobs for America’s Graduates: One million strong and growing. Washington became a member of JAG in The JAG model targets various groups of students: middle school, alternative, multi-year, or senior application for all high school students, and an out-of-school program for students who have separated from and want to re-enter school. How does JAG work? In the JAG model, the goal for each student is three-fold: 1. Graduation, 2. Job placement, 3. Post-secondary training, education, military service, internship. JWG is improving graduation rates for student’s with multiple barriers and teaching job readiness skills as they leave high school. For more information, contact Mary Kanikeberg or

Program of Study A coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with post-secondary education to adequately prepare students to enter into postsecondary education, an apprenticeship, and/or employment. Ideally it is recommended students take an exploratory course prior to taking preparatory courses.
