To meet our districts stated goals of more individualized education and efforts to excel, the district should adopt the Move on when Ready program established by the state almost 5 years ago.  The program allows students to take prescribed course their freshmen and sophomore years, and after passing assessment tests graduate with a Grand Canyon Diploma.  Once graduated their path is less prescribed, if desired they can stay in highschool and focus on improving JTED (vocational) experience and knowledge, take AP and concurrent enrollment classes in high school, or attend community college.  Adding this option would allow students to demonstrate they meet district requirements in a breadth of topics after 2 year.  This would free up choices for those that pass, allowing them to peruse their own educational interests and skills.
