New Schools
An estimated 1,370,000 public school students will return to school in early September. Openings are planned for 12 newly constructed schools that are replacing unsafe or inadequate facilities.
Personalized Student Learning Plans
An exciting new component in the state’s plan to transform secondary schools is personalized student learning plans (PSLPs). This concept involves using adult mentors, including parents, teachers and counselors, to help students recognize and achieve their education goals.
PSLPs will be piloted in 6 middle schools and 10 high schools in 2009-10. The pilot will guide future efforts to expand the program.
New High School Graduation Requirements
New high school graduation requirements began last year for incoming freshmen (the class of 2012) and will be phased in over time. The new requirements include a total of 120 credits and the integration of 21st century skills across all content areas.
