Subcommittee: CTE pathways now count as a graduation option; district already meets requirement
Summary
Dr. Chamberlain told the subcommittee that career and technical education pathways are now one of the state-recognized options for meeting graduation requirements, and that Acton‑Agua Dulce Unified currently meets that requirement through two‑year pathways with concentrator and capstone courses.
The subcommittee heard that CTE (career and technical education) is explicitly included as one of the graduation-course options under the updated policy and that the district already meets the requirement. "AAD USD currently meets this requirement," Dr. Chamberlain said, describing pathways as two‑year programs that include a concentrator class and a capstone course.
Dr. Chamberlain noted that all CTE pathway and course curriculum are aligned with state standards and frameworks; she told the committee that pathways typically span two years and culminate in a capstone experience. The item generated brief committee discussion but no formal objections; the policy will move forward to the board for a first reading.
