After reviewing Kentucky’s Uniform Academic Course Codes webpage, our school’s concern is having the time and staff to get all of the required credits, especially with the many dual credit and AP classes offered that many students choose to take in addition to their regular course load. We are worried that students will not have enough room in the…Read More

After Looking over the KUACC and grasping a better understanding, the biggest issues I see are that there is this big push for multiple options and enrichment. We are living in an era in this state where all we do is cut education funding, and as we all know, staff and programs often take a large hit with the cuts. How does a school keep adding…Read More

Yes, working together is the only way our small district will be able to overcome the challenges in the Opportunity and Access. Our staff numbers dwindle every single year.

One of the things we noticed is that to get full points, 50% of the total school population needs to have completed a cultural studies or world languages course. We currently only offer Spanish I and II, and we are unsure if 50% of the students are taking those courses. In addition, it’s difficult for all students to complete career pathways if…Read More

We also face these problems! There are several electives that our teachers have expressed interest in offering (and that students have asked about), but we have to focus on graduation requirements. Good luck with your transition next year!

Right, and you hate to tell students who really want (and need) to take extra dual credit or AP classes that they cannot take them until they get their elective classes taken. Especially when dual credit and AP can get them ahead on their college coursework, which saves them time and money in the long run.

Yes, more with less is the trend. Has us all looking for ways to work together and maximize resources.
