Canyons college-ready diploma plan gets support from higher ed (Salt Lake Tribune)
Canyons Superintendent David Doty has a new, powerful ally in his quest to entice high school students to take more math and science.
Utah’s higher education leaders, including State Higher Education Commissioner William Sederburg, have endorsed Doty’s proposed college-and-career-ready diploma.
“I hope and expect that other districts will follow your lead,” said Sederburg in a Feb. 1 letter to Doty. “On behalf of the Utah State Board of Regents, I offer our endorsement of your proposal and pledge our support.”
Sederburg isn’t alone in his praise.
A majority of Canyons parents — 61 percent — also support the idea of a differentiated diploma, according to a district-commissioned poll discussed at Tuesday’s school board meeting.
