Title: Approval of the FY06-07 Student Progression Plan

Recommendation:

I recommend that the School Board approve the FY06-07 Student Progression Plan in compliance with the provisions of House Bill 7087 and Florida State Statutes 1008.25 effective September 7, 2006.

4     Requirement of four credits in a major area of interest to graduate from high school

4     Weighting of dual enrollment courses for students entering grade nine in FY06-07

4     Termination of school enrollment prior to graduation with an exit interview

4     Modification of the Academic Improvement Plan Process

Additional changes to the Student Progression Plan include:

4     Alignment of Exceptional Student Education language to state statutes and School Board Policies

4     Change of name of Limited English Proficient students to English Language Learners.

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the operating budget.
