California Education Code [section 51225.3 (b)] requires the Board of Education to develop and adopt alternative means for pupils to complete the prescribed course of study. Those alternatives may include practical demonstration of skills and competencies, supervised work experience or other outside school experience, career technical education classes offered in high schools, courses offered by regional occupational centers or programs, interdisciplinary study, independent study, and credit earned at a postsecondary institution. The district’s alternative means policy is set forth in Administrative Procedure 4771, Alternative Means of Satisfying the Prescribed Course of Study. Courses that may be used to satisfy high school graduation requirements under this policy are listed below and are also identified as such in their individual course descriptions in the curriculum-area sections. |
