district’s plans to:

Have multiple, clear academic pathways

course offerings catalog, but they need

to verify.

091205

Policy has to be specific regarding the

district’s plans to:

Document the career advising provided to each

student for review by the student, parents, and future

schools the student may attend. (Number 7 on bill).

OhioMeansJobs.com provides career advising

opportunities, and the district can choose to use the

work in a student’s backpack on OhioMeansJobs.com

to be documentation since this is digital and

accessible if a transferring parent or student requests

it.

district’s plans to:

Address special interventions for students in

need of remediation in math and English for

and a statement on the importance of a high school

diploma and academic pathways.

Pathways are likely listed in the course offering

catalog, but districts need to verify.
