Assistant principal spots error in honors-diploma rule; district to update administrative rule
Summary
Shannon Ritter told the board that the administrative rule for the honors diploma lists 26 required credits though the detailed allotment totals 25.5; staff said district practice already requires 3 applied-arts credits per Oregon diploma requirements and asked that the administrative rule be corrected.
Shannon Ritter, identified in the meeting as assistant principal at the ISO, told trustees she and the special-education director reviewed the honors-diploma administrative rule and found a mismatch: the rule text requires 26 credits while the district's detailed credit allotment totals 25.5.
Ritter said the specific error is in the applied-arts requirement, which the rule lists as 2.5 credits but should require 3 credits to align with Oregon diploma requirements and current district practice. She asked that the administrative rule be updated to match the practice described in the district's packet.
Board members acknowledged the discrepancy; the transcript records the item as informational and requests that the administrative rule be updated. No formal motion to change the rule was recorded in the provided transcript segment.
