Cascade High School plans credit‑by‑proficiency for new state 0.5 career pathways credit
Summary
Cascade High School will use a credit‑by‑proficiency model to meet a new 0.5 career/college pathways state requirement; the principal said the district already meets roughly six of the state's 14 standards and will present a formal draft next month for board approval.
Cascade High School Principal Mister Rasmussen told the board the district will propose a credit‑by‑proficiency approach to meet the state's new 0.5 career/college pathways graduation requirement. "We are going to be offering a credit by proficiency for all graduating seniors in the class of 2027," he said, adding that the district currently meets about six of the 14 standards the state identified.
Rasmussen described using existing senior exit interviews, rubrics and Google Classroom spaces to track student completion of tasks and assign credit once standards are demonstrated; some proficiency elements may be participation‑based while others could include school‑sponsored service credits. He said the district will bring a formal draft to the board next month for consideration and potential approval.
