Sorry, what does that have to do with the topic? Are CTE classes easier and therefore more likely to prop up accreditation status?
Combined with the abrupt (find out after school mi e to another school next day) of admin combined with the new CTE requirement may be to get a head of bad news about the school’s status.
Are other HS’s adding this requirement next year? If not, why else would this schoo be singled out.

This is how/why they picked AAP center schools at the ES level.
NP. Is this actually true? I believe it but didn't know that.
It's not written policy (they aren't THAT dumb) but it was absolutely a key factor. Friends working in FCPS admin confirm.
As they move to Local Level IV, some of the elementary schools are going to fall into a danger zone.

It is why families at title 1 schools choose AAP Centers, it is an easy way to move away from a school that has a lot of struggling students.
