General Diploma

• Beginning with students who enter high school in
  2007-2008, completion of Core 40 becomes a
  graduation requirement.
• A general diploma is only available to students
  whose parents feel students are unable to
  complete the Core 40 curriculum.
• To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal
  Opt-out process must be completed.
• Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an
  admissions requirement to attend a public
  four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a
  minimum requirement colleges may have
  additional admissions requirements).

12
Core 40 Opt-Out Triggers

• A parent may request that a student be exempted
  from the Core 40 curriculum and be required to
  complete the general diploma to graduate, or
• The student does not pass at least three (3)
  courses required under the Core 40 curriculum, or
• The student receives a score on the graduation
  examination that is in the twenty-fifth
  percentile or lower (score still being discussed
  by state) when taking the graduation exam for the
  first time.
• If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40,
  the student is required to complete the
  course/credit requirements for a general diploma
  and the career/academic sequence the student will
  pursue is determined.

13
Core 40 Opt-Out Process

• The student, the students parent/guardian, and
  the students counselor meet to discuss the
  students progress.
• The students career/course plan is reviewed.
• The students parent/guardian determines whether
  the student will achieve greater educational
  benefits by completing the general curriculum or
  the Core 40 curriculum.
