Academic Excellence Strategies 4 Expand programming to prepare students for a full range of post-secondary opportunities.

|
Background:
|
|
One of the metrics monitored on the Vision 2026 Dashboard is Graduation Rate. One strategy that has been utilized to support students in graduating within four years has been to offer opportunities for credit recovery. Generally, credit recovery is done through the use of a online platform. Over the last ten years, the district has used various platforms. Recently, the high school team requested an opportunity to review other platforms because the current system has limitations that prevent it from fully meeting our needs. |

Summary:

After a review of various platforms, the high school team is recommending Subject.com. Subject.com has many features that are valued by the high school team for students taking online courses. One specific feature is that the materials are available in multiple languages. |
|
|

Funding:
|
|
The cost per student license is $255 for year 1 and $294 for years 2-4. The recommendation is to purchase 135 licenses. The total cost for year 1 would be $34,560 and $39,690 for years 2,3, and 4 each. This is similar to what has been budgeted for previous online courseware subscriptions. |
