Summary:
|
In order to establish a cost effective credit recovery program, staff is recommending that the Board approve a pilot program using Cyber High for credit recovery in our comprehensive and necessary small high schools as well as our Special Education Extended Year program. The approval of this pilot is only for the spring of 2012 and this summer’s extended year program. Under the pilot, schools would be provided enough funding to have a computer lab staffed by a teacher two hours a day after school Monday-Thursday. Some schools are also considering opening a lab as part of their Saturday school program. During this pilot window staff will gather input from the school teams in order to provide the Board a follow-up report in June 2012. As part of the report staff will make recommendations for the 2012-13 school year.
Cyber High is a comprehensive electronic curriculum that is aligned with the Content Standards and Frameworks of the State of California. All courses are accredited through the Fresno Unified School District of which Roosevelt High School in Fresno, California, is the sponsoring entity. Many courses meet the college prep a-g requirements of the University of California. Cyber High will be used for credit recovery as a pilot to give students an opportunity to make up credits and graduate with their class.
