State Board of Education Approves Policy Guidance For Graduation Pathways

State Board Of Education Approves Policy Guidance for Graduation Pathways

July 11, 2018,

Staff Report
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—The Indiana Department of Education and Indiana schools will be using newly-approved policy guidance as officials implement Graduation Pathways.

Graduation Pathways helps prepare Hoosier graduates for life after high school by providing them with an awareness of career interests and options.

The goal is to ensure all graduating Hoosiers have academic, technical, and employability skills, that lead to opportunities such as entering the workforce, acquiring a college degree or enlisting in the military.

“I am incredibly encouraged to see that many school corporations, like leaders from Jay County, are working to implement Graduation Pathways immediately,” said Dr. David Freitas, a member of the Indiana State Board of Education. “I believe that schools adopting Graduation Pathways now speaks to the value of this new model, which gets students thinking about what’s best for their careers after high school.

The new policy guidance, approved by the State Board of Education in a 10-0 vote, includes how to complete Indiana’s new diploma requirements, how to maximize employability experience, and how to identify postsecondary options.

Employability experience through internships and other experiential learning opportunities are what this new policy guidance suggests.

“This guidance document provides the information necessary for IDOE and our schools to succeed in implementing Graduation Pathways,” said board member Dr. Maryanne McMahon. “I’m particularly proud of this document because it was developed collaboratively with the Board, IDOE, educators across the state and leaders from Indiana’s business community.”

The policy approval came after six months of meetings with educators, administrators, state agencies and officials, members of the business community, national education and workforce organizations and higher education leaders.

IDOE will update the State Board of Education with its efforts to implement the policy guidance.

The next SBOE business meeting with take place on Aug. 1.

WHERE: Indiana State House Room 125, 200 W Washington, Indpls, IN 46204

The Indiana Election Commission set date for the hearing on CAUSE NUMBER: 2018-12 which conflicts with Horning’s business travel out of state.

Alan Horton, 12682 North Gasburg Road, Mooresville, Indiana 46158 has agreed to represent Horning regarding the challenge.

An authorized alternate, Earle Benton Tackitt, 35 North Mount Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222 will also attend the hearing.

For the purposes of administrative hearings, a proxy/delegated representative does not need to be an attorney.

Both men are authorized by Horning to represent the challenge on Horning’s behalf.

Attached is a summary of Horning’s constitutional term limit argument.

209-215 N. Main Street by Pat Sides

0

Boasting a distinctive style and imposing size, this commercial building was a familiar sight on Evansville’s near north side for decades.

Erected in 1920, the brick structure was originally home to the O. K. Bakery, which was one of thirty bakeries – nine of them on Main Street — listed in the city directory that year. The new business boasted many modern conveniences, including five skylights and large windows specially designed for “daylight” baking.

After the company relocated in the late 1940s, the Main Street building was occupied by Brinkley Post 9632 of the VFW and housed other businesses over the years. Nyla Cosmetics and the North Main Beauty Academy were among the building’s last occupants before it was razed in 1987.
