Career and Academic Planning For Middle and High School Students
Died in Careers & Workforce Subcommittee
Summary
The bill would obligate district school boards to notify students and parents about career and technical education options each year starting before the end of fifth grade, and to require middle schools to hold a career and academic planning meeting for eighth‑graders and their parents before high‑school registration. It also adds a required internet‑based career planning course for grades 6‑8 that creates a personalized academic and career plan, which must be reviewed each year beginning in ninth grade. The aim is to give students clearer pathways to post‑secondary education, scholarships, and jobs.
