PMSA to pilot on-campus dual-degree program with Triton College; initial cohort of 27 and plans to expand
Summary
District staff reported progress on an on-campus dual-degree program at the PMSA campus in partnership with Triton College; 27 students currently meet placement criteria and staff aim to expand the first cohort after retesting and review sessions.
Jennifer briefed the committee on a near-ready on-campus dual-degree program at the PMSA campus developed in partnership with Triton College. The program is designed for juniors and spans two years on the PMSA site.
Jennifer said 27 students currently meet placement-test eligibility (Accuplacer) based on sophomore-year testing; staff have scheduled review sessions and a retest to increase the number of eligible students and hope the initial cohort can double. The on-campus program is intended to run alongside a Triton-hosted dual-degree cohort that serves East and West campuses.
Staff described plans for morning and afternoon review sessions and two teachers delivering targeted ELA and math instruction before retesting; study guides and follow-up supports will be provided to raise preparedness. Jennifer said administrators will supply the board with statewide comparisons on how many high schools offer on-campus dual-degree programs and report back on outcomes and scalability.
No vote was taken; staff said more updates and broader rollout planning will follow as the cohort is finalized.
