RCW 28A.230.130
Program to help students meet minimum
entrance requirements at baccalaureate-granting institutions or
to pursue career or other opportunities -- Exceptions. (Effective
until September 1, 2009.)
(1) All public high schools of the
state shall provide a program, directly or in cooperation with a
community college or another school district, for students whose
educational plans include application for entrance to a
baccalaureate-granting institution after being granted a high
school diploma. The program shall help these students to meet at
least the minimum entrance requirements under RCW 28B.10.050.
(2) All public high schools of the state shall provide a
program, directly or in cooperation with a community or technical
college, a skills center, an apprenticeship committee, or another
school district, for students who plan to pursue career or work
opportunities other than entrance to a baccalaureate-granting
institution after being granted a high school diploma. These
programs may:
(a) Help students demonstrate the application of essential
academic learning requirements to the world of work,
occupation-specific skills, knowledge of more than one career in
a chosen pathway, and employability and leadership skills; and
(b) Help students demonstrate the knowledge and skill needed
to prepare for industry certification, and/or have the
opportunity to articulate to postsecondary education and training
programs.
(3) Within funds specifically appropriated therefor, a
middle school that receives approval from the office of the
superintendent of public instruction to provide a career and
technical program directly to students shall receive funding at
the same rate as a high school operating a similar program.
Additionally, a middle school that provides a hands-on experience
in math and science with an integrated curriculum of academic
content and career and technical education, and includes a career
and technical education exploratory component shall also qualify
for the career and technical education funding.
(4) The state board of education, upon request from local
school districts, may grant waivers from the requirements to
provide the program described in subsections (1) and (2) of this
section for reasons relating to school district size and the
availability of staff authorized to teach subjects which must be
provided. In considering waiver requests related to programs in
subsection (2) of this section, the state board of education
shall consider the extent to which the school district has
offered such programs before the 2003-04 school year.
