The proposal is based on the recommendations of the State Board of Education’s Ad Hoc Committee on Secondary School Redesign and recommends new state requirements for high school graduation including:

·         An increase in minimum diploma credits to 24;

·         A core curriculum of required courses,

·         The embedding of 21st Century learning skills such as communication

       and teamwork skills into model curricula;

·         State-administered end-of-course examinations;

·         Locally administered end–of-course performance tasks,

·         Student success plans with career path options; and a senior year demonstration project.
