Foreword

In 2010, Senator Norman Sakamoto introduced a resolution in the Hawaiʻi State Legislature to explore the possibilities of establishing a Department of Education (DOE) Vocational/Technical Education Learning Center at Honolulu Community College. SCR 103, Requesting a Report on the Feasibility of Creating a Vocational/Technical Education Learning Center at Honolulu Community College was passed by the State Senate in Spring 2010. The resolution basically requested that the Department of Education and Honolulu Community College convene a task force to discuss and report on the feasibility of creating a Department of Education Vocational/Technical Education Learning Center at Honolulu Community College. The initial meetings in May 2010 included Senator Sakamoto and his staff, State Deputy Superintendent Ronn Nozoe, Honolulu Community College Chancellor Mike Rota, and Honolulu Community College staff. The Learning Center Task Force was subsequently convened with Ann Mahi, Roosevelt High School principal, as chairperson, and principals from three additional participating high schools: Catherine Payne from Farrington, Penelope Tom from Kaimuki, and Ron Okamura from McKinley, and representatives of Honolulu Community College. After a couple of meetings on how a Learning Center at Honolulu CC would function, the idea evolved into Jump Start, a program that would allow eligible high school juniors to apply for and register as full-‐time students in career and technical education programs at the community colleges in their high school senior year. As the idea started to gel, Kapi‘olani CC was invited to participate in the meetings and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was developed for the four high schools and two Community Colleges in November 2010. Senator Jill Tokuda, current Senate Education Committee Chairperson, supports Jump Start and is a member of the Jump Start Task Force. Her office staff and office volunteers provide administrative support to the Task Force. The first Jump Start MOA for Year One of the pilot was signed on March 16, 2011, and a subsequent MOA for Year Two signed on December 5, 2011. Resident tuition for participating students is being covered by their high schools during the pilot period. Also, the Hawai‘i P-‐20 Partnerships for Education is providing support for a two-‐week summer college orientation/ preparation program and $500/semester stipends for books. It is anticipated that a third year MOA will be signed in October 2012. It will include Leeward Community College and an additional six (6) public high schools on O‘ahu: Campbell, Kapolei, Nanakuli, Pearl City, Wai‘anae, and Waipahu. There will be a separate MOA for Kaua‘i Community College and the three public high schools on Kaua‘i: Kapa‘a, Kaua‘i, Waimea. On the following pages are the documents that have been developed for the Jump Start program.

November 9, 2012 JUMP START Fact Sheet

A Hawai‘i State DOE Dual Credit Pilot Project with Honolulu, Kapi‘olani, & Leeward Community Colleges

What is Jump Start? Jump Start is a program that allows high school seniors to enroll full-‐time in career and technical education programs at Honolulu Community College (HonCC), Kapi‘olani Community College (KapCC), Leeward Community College (LeeCC), or Kaua‘i Community College (KauCC). Students earn high school credit for college courses they successfully complete during their senior year. The project initially began with four (4) pilot high schools: Farrington, Kaimuki, McKinley, and Roosevelt; and two (2) community colleges: Honolulu and Kapi‘olani. In academic/school year 2013-‐14, the program is expanding to Leeward Community College, Kaua‘i Community College, six Leeward high schools: Campbell, Kapolei, Nanakuli, Pearl City, Wai‘anae, and Waipahu, and three Kaua‘i high schools: Kapa‘a, Kaua‘i, Waimea. What is the purpose of the Jump Start program? The Jump Start program has been established to provide career and technical education opportunities to high school students whose interests are not currently being served by their high school. What are the advantages of participating in the Jump Start program? The program offers dual credit to the participating high school students. For each community college (CC) course students successfully complete, students will earn high school credit toward graduation while working towards a college degree or certificate. Who may participate in this pilot program? For Academic/School Year 2013-‐14, the third year of the pilot, up to 60 seniors from the 10 participating O‘ahu high schools (Campbell, Farrington, Kaimuki, Kapolei, McKinley, Nanakuli, Pearl City, Roosevelt, Wai‘anae, and Waipahu) may enroll as full-‐time students at Honolulu, Kapi‘olani, and Leeward Community Colleges. (Sophomores and juniors may prepare to participate in the program in their senior year by completing any necessary prerequisite English and math requirements.) Honolulu CC requires placement into English 22/60 and Math 24/50/53 before starting any Jump Start program. Any senior, who has completed all courses required for high school graduation except one (1) English, one (1) Social Studies, one (1) Math, and elective credits, is eligible to apply for this program. Since the student will carry a full-‐time (approximately 12 credits per semester) course load at the community college, it is critical that students consult with their high school counselors to ensure that the college courses they enroll in satisfy their high school graduation requirements. (Students will be counseled to take core subjects at the community college if the courses are not part of the chosen program, OR they can take online courses, e.g., NOVANET, DOE E-‐School, or another program.) It is strongly recommended that students complete a career interest inventory or assessment to assist them in selecting an appropriate career and technical education program. A FREE interest inventory may be found on the UHCC Career Connections website: http://careerconnections.hawaii.edu/Flex/career_exploration/bin/career_exploration.html. The RIASEC interest assessment is also available FREE at: http://uhcc.hawaii.edu/jobcenter/resources/riasec.php Continuation in the program for the second semester requires that the student earn a minimum 2.0 grade point average at the community college.

26

Which courses at the college level may substitute for high school senior English? English 22 and higher at the community college will be acceptable for high school Senior English credit. (Jump Start Task Force Meeting Notes, 4/13/11) Which courses at the college level may substitute for high school math? Math 24 and higher at the community college will be acceptable for high school math credit. (Jump Start Task Force Meeting Notes, 2/23/12) Is completing a Senior Project required for participation in Jump Start? Each high school determines if a Senior Project is required for Jump Start students. (Jump Start Task Force Meeting Notes, 9/27/11) Which CC programs are open to participating high school seniors? It is recommended that students select from the following programs because of the likely availability of classes at individual campuses.

Dear Jump Start Student: To help ensure your success in the Jump Start program, the attached forms must be completed and submitted to your high school college counselor. The information on the form will help the counselors address any problems you may have with appropriate assistance. The due dates for the forms coincide with the DOE’s quarters; the forms are due by September 30, December 15, and March 15. To complete the form, ask ALL of your community college instructors to complete the grades and attendance sections of the form. They may choose to make comments. Then, when complete, attach a copy of your student schedule to the form and submit the form and your schedule to your high school college counselor by specified deadlines.

Please note that if your class attendance and/or progress are poor OR if you do not submit this form by the September and December deadlines your Spring Semester Jump Start tuition assistance and textbook voucher may be cancelled. This would also jeopardize completion of the requirements for your high school diploma.

If you are having problems in your classes, you may want to use this opportunity to discuss your situation with your instructor or counselor. ****************************************************************************** We agree to have the community college instructors complete the attached forms, and we agree to submit the completed forms to the high school college/career counselor by September 30, December 15, and March 15. We understand that if the first two grade reports are not submitted by the specified deadlines and the student does not earn a cumulative 2.0 grade point average for his/her first semester, the student’s Jump Start tuition assistance and textbook voucher may be cancelled for second semester and the student will be returned to the high school. We also understand that failure to pass the college courses that the student needs to meet the Department of Education high school diploma requirements will result in not receiving my high school graduation diploma on time.
