And Munday High School Graduation Requirements House Bill 5 And Munday High School Graduation Requirements 2017-2018

HB 5 SBOE adopted new rules for the Foundation High School Program on Jan 31, 2014. Students still must pass the English I, Algebra I, Biology, English II, & US History EOC’s. For students entering 9th grade in 2014-15 and beyond, we no longer have the Recommended, Distinguished, or Minimum Graduation Plan. A school district must ensure that each student, on entering ninth grade, indicates in writing an endorsement that the student intends to earn. A district must permit a student to choose, at any time, to earn an endorsement other than the endorsement the student previously indicated.

Vocabulary Advanced Course means “the next level.” For example: “Advanced English course” can mean English IV “Advanced Math course” means the next course after Algebra I and Geometry. It could be Algebra II, Precalculus, etc. In this law, Advanced Course does not mean a Pre-AP or AP or weighted course.

Vocabulary Performance Acknowledgement means going above and beyond in at least one of these areas: Dual Credit courses Bilingualism and Biliteracy AP Tests PSAT or PLAN (Aspire) Scores Earning a business or industry certification

Vocabulary Distinguished Level of Achievement is a lot like the old 4x4 plan, but one of the math courses must be Algebra II. The new language says: four credits in mathematics, which must include Algebra II, plus four credits in science, plus the foundation plan curriculum requirements, plus the curriculum requirements for at least one endorsement A student must earn the distinguished level of achievement to be eligible for top 10% automatic admission to four year university.

Foundation Plan Statutory Requirements A student may graduate under the foundation high school program without earning an endorsement if, after the student's sophomore year: The student and the student’s parent or guardian are advised by a school counselor of the specific benefits of graduating from high school with one or more endorsements; and The student’s parent or guardian files with a school counselor written permission, on a form adopted by the agency, allowing the student to graduate under the foundation high school program without earning an endorsement.
