Subject: 9.17 (Item 19) Request approval to adopt AP Macroeconomics Course of Study
LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan) Goal:

Enclosure AP Macroeconomics course of study
File Attachment:
AP Macroeconomics.pdf
Summary: The University of California Admissions' Office has requested that we change our current AP Economics (Macro/Micro) into two separate courses with separate course titles and course numbers. As a result the necessary changes were made to separate this course into two separate courses. One of these courses will now be called AP Macroeconomics.
The AP course in Macroeconomics gives students an understanding of the principles of economics that apply to an economic system as a whole. This course places particular emphasis on the study of national income and price determination, and also develops students' familiarity with economic performance measures, economic growth, and international economics.
Funding: None required
Fiscal Impact There is no impact to the General Fund.
Recommendation: For approval. Was presented at the August 10, 2010 meeting as information only.
