“What are the high school experiences you want for your students in the future? How can our high schools better prepare students for college and careers?”
Share your ideas at a community forum.
The conversations will include:
- The need to expand the opportunities for rigorous coursework in all schools, resulting in equity and parity across high schools in our system.
- How we will ensure students meet the new state Career- and College-Ready Graduation Requirements (also known as Core 24), which will increase the credit requirement to 24 credits starting with the class of 2021.
- Potential school schedule changes necessary to meet the new graduation requirements. This could include changes to the master schedule and start/dismissal times.
- In the Tyee and Evergreen conversations, we will take this opportunity to reflect on the past ten years of operating the small school model. We will review what small schools are doing well so that can be shared across the system, as well as identify any changes necessary to ensure that we have equitable opportunities across all our high schools.
