Message regarding students who have not previously taken the PSAE
Those students who did not take PSAE prior to this school year and who are eligible to receive a regular high school diploma either immediately or through the end of the 2014-2015 school year AND who are not enrolled in a course teaching the standards of Algebra II, Math III or ELA III prior to their date of graduation, may be considered to receive a regular high school diploma at the discretion of the district.
To assist with making this possible, ISBE has removed the grade 11 programming in SIS to allow students who have not previously taken the PSAE to be eligible as grade 12. Rule making on the diploma requirement and State assessments is forthcoming.
