Bill Would Allow Career-track Curriculum
High school students who don’t want to go to college would have an option to pursue career-track studies under a bill being considered in the Mississippi legislature. House Bill 1210 outlines 20 course unit requirements for the so-called career track curriculum. Students who choose to go that route still would have to earn four units of English and at least three in math and three in science. Some districts already offer such curricula under the state department of education’s high school redesign program, which is being expanded. (Jackson Clarion-Ledger, 03/08/10)
