Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes
Recognizing that the extended closure impacts students that were enrolled in a cooperative education experience, the Board of Education adopted these emergency guidelines to provide flexibility to students and local school divisions for internship and cooperative education experiences. These emergency guidelines are meant to supplement the Career and Technical Education Work-Based Learning Guide that are in effect until June 30, 2020. The revised Career and Technical Education Work-Based Learning Guide, approved by the Board in November 2019, will go into effect on July 1, 2020. Under the current Guide, any student enrolled in a cooperative education experience or internship must meet a 280 hour requirement to earn a standard unit of credit. For students enrolled in a cooperative education experience or internship for the 2019-2020 school year only, the 280 hour requirement for cooperative education and internships is reduced to 140 hours to earn a standard unit of credit. School divisions must award standard credit for high school credit-bearing courses by ensuring that the student has demonstrated mastery in a majority of the standards, competencies, and objectives, including those that are essential for success in subsequent coursework. This process must be based on the Emergency Guidelines for Local Alternatives to Awarding Standard Units of Credit, approved by the Board on April 2, 2020. The emergency guidelines are effective immediately.
