Amendments to High School Graduation Requirements (Chapter 180-51 WAC)

The Legislature mandated that the Board adopt three credits of high school math as well as define the content. A third math credit will be required for all students beginning with the Class of 2013.  They must complete this third credit of math in an Algebra II course that aligns with the new math standards.  This course requirement can be completed through an approved career and technical education course of study that is comparable in course content but allows the student to earn more than one credit to complete. A student may, upon completion of Algebra I and Geometry, elect a different third math credit.  This elective choice shall allow students to replace the Algebra II requirement with a third math credit that furthers their career path defined in their High School and Beyond Plan.  A defined process for this elective choice will include the student, his/her family or designee, as well as a representative from the high school.
