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).

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 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.

Core 40 Opt-Out Process• The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the

student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s progress.

• The student’s career/course plan is reviewed.• The student’s parent/guardian determines whether

the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum.

• Opt-Out for signed by parent and student

Technology New Offering..

Automation and Robotics: will be a project based course where students will get hands on experience designing, building, and testing robots. Students will gain skills to design and build basic robots that use sensors and actuators to solve specific problems and complete specific tasks. This will include introductory programming autonomous mode. Students will also learn to program a robot, tethered and in autonomous mode, able to react to specific circumstances and perform human-like tasks when programming is complete. Students will have the opportunity to build robots ranging in size from six inches to six feet that will be entered into robotics competitions to test their design and fabrication skills. This course will provide fundamental knowledge and skills in pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanics, basic electronics, and programmable logic controllers along with an understanding of career pathways in this sector.
