Credit Flexibility
This education option gives students a way to be in charge of their learning. For some students, they see more value in school (“Why do I have to learn this?”) when they can connect learning with real world situations and future jobs. Credit flexibility is one way to increase a student’s interest in school and motivation to learn.

The key to this option is that the student drives the request to learn differently as well as the plan to earn the credit. A specific interest of the student is the basis for the request. The family starts by listening to their child.

Every school district has a policy on credit flexibility. The student and family should find and review the policy.
The student and family talks with the principal, counselor and teachers about the way to fulfill the student’s request and to meet requirements for earning a high school credit or credits.
The school approves the plan, which includes how the student will know he or she has succeeded. In some cases, the how could be a test, a project or a combination of several measures.

The teacher assigned with the plan oversees that the student is doing the work, meeting the goals and making progress in learning. If the student does not complete all elements in the plan or is not successful in demonstrating the knowledge and skills needed, then the student will not earn the credit. If this occurs, the student can go into a traditional classroom to earn the credit. It is the responsibility of the student to do the work to succeed in the plan. The teacher guides the student with feedback.

There is not one way to develop a credit flexibility plan. So the Ohio Department of Education does not provide a model plan. The student, school and family create the plan together. This includes discussion about any costs associated with the plan.
The school may cover some costs, while families may need to handle some costs. The plan should include the costs and responsibility for payment.

These documents are designed to provide school and district leader’s guidance on how to implement their credit flexibility policy in ways that better ensure compliance and safeguard critical operations (e.g., state and federal accountability and school funding). Policymakers intended credit flexibility to be implemented and customized to local circumstances. As a result, state-level assistance is limited. ODE cannot anticipate every question or circumstance a district might face. Local customization allows for a variety of approaches to implementation. Guidance reflects our best thinking to date, and answers may change as this process is iterative. Where feasible and appropriate. ODE is working in partnership with local administrators to consider ways of improving system design and operations.

Two Ways to Earn Flex Credit

Credit by Examination—Student demonstrates mastery of curriculum on a state or nationally recognized assessment.  I.E. STAR, ACT EOCE, MAP, state of Ohio end of course exams, etc.
Individualized Credit Flex Plan—the student works in conjunction with the Guidance Counselor and a highly qualified teacher to develop a plan for earning credit outside of the school day.
The teacher of record is responsible for monitoring work completion and giving a final grade.
The guidance counselor is responsible for proper reporting of the course in PowerSchool and EMIS.

College Credit Plus
A Guide to College Credit plus for Students & Families

Ohio’s new College Credit Plus can help students earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course from a public college or university College Credit Plus is free. That means no cost for tuition, books or fees. If a student chooses to attend a private college or university, he/she may have limited costs.

Reynoldsburg High School has agreements with local colleges for specific courses, however, students can choose to take College Credit Plus courses from any college that offers a course that would benefit his/her future. This could include online courses. To learn more about College Credit Plus, please visit the College Credit Plus webpage at Ohio Higher Education.

Note: If a student is participating in the College Credit Plus program, regardless of where or how the post-secondary course is delivered, the calculation of equivalency has changed. Please note that in accordance with Bylaw 4-4-1, all courses taken in College Credit Plus must count toward high school graduation.

It is highly recommended that you review the program requirements and obtain a copy of the regulations governing College Credit Plus. This information can be found at www.ohiohighered.org/ccp. In addition, eligible student selecting to participate in CCP must be certain that 1.) The faculty members at the post-secondary intuition understand that they will need to provide grades or a progress report at the time when the high school’s grading period is over, and 2.) The student-athlete is taking enough post-secondary course work exclusively or between the post-secondary institution and the high school combined to be equivalent to five one-credit courses. Calculating equivalency of credits in the post-secondary institution is conducted in the same manner as in the high school, based on the Carnegie unit. College course for which three or more semester hours of credit are earned shall be awarded one Carnegie unit. Fractional Carnegie units will be awarded proportionately.
Examples of CCP options:
Example 1: 1st Nine-Week Grading Period
Subject	School	Credit & Duration	Credit Equivalency (Must Equal 5 Units or Equivalent)	
History	High	1 (year course)	1 x 1 = 1	
Literature	CCP	3 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Calculus	CCP	5 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Biology	CCP	3 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Total Credits			7 = eligible for 2nd grading period provided five credits passed.	

The factor of 2 is used for post-secondary institutions that are on the semester system.
Example 2: 4th Nine-Week Grading Period
Subject	School	Credit & Duration	Credit Equivalency (Must Equal 5 Units or Equivalent)	
French	CCP	5 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Sociology	CCP	3 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Computers	CCP	2 semester hours	.67 x 2 = 1.34	
Geology	CCP	3 semester hours	1 x 2 = 2	
Total Credits			7.34 = eligible for 1st grading period of next school year provided five credits passed.	

The factor of 2 is used for post-secondary institutions that are on the semester system. Note that this student is taking all courses in CCP, which is acceptable.
Example1: 1st Nine-Week Grading Period
Subject	Grade	Credit & Duration	Factor	Credit Equivalency (Must Equal 5 Unites of
Equivalent)	
English 10	C	1 – all year	1	1 x 1 = 1	
Spanish 1	D	1 – all year	1	1 x 1 = 1	
Health	B	½ - semester	2	½ x 2 = 1	
Algebra	F	1 – all year	1	0	
Computers	C	½ - semester	2	½ x 2 = 1	
Social Studies	C	½ - semester	2	½ x 2 = 1	
Total Credits				5 = eligible for 2nd grading period

District-Wide CCP Policy
(Updated January 25, 2016)

This document is designed to give guidance to school personnel and Reynoldsburg families on who is responsible for paying for the retake of courses under College Credit Plus legislation.

A student that receives a letter grade of D or better in their college course has earned credit for that course and under CCP legislation is not eligible to have the school district pay for a retake of that course. If a family should choose to retake a course in which a passing grade has been earned, the family is responsible for paying for this course and materials associated with it.

If a student earns a letter grade of F and that student is considered economically disadvantaged, then under CCP legislation the school district will pay for the retake of the course.

If a student earns a letter grade of F and the student does not fall into the category of economically disadvantaged, then they may be eligible for the school district to pay for the retake of the course if they meet the following criteria:
The student has two or fewer excused absences for the class in question.
The student has had zero discipline referrals for the semester in question.
The student is not credit deficient and is on pace to graduate on time.
The student has an overall weighted GPA of 2.75 or higher.

Students that do not meet all of the above criteria would be required to pay for a retake of the failed course, if they should choose to retake it.

Students returning a college textbook that is damaged and not reusable may be required to pay for the replacement of the textbook.

Athletic Eligibility

2017-2018

Guidelines for Student Athletic Eligibility

Produced By
The Ohio High School Athletic Association
Revised 4/15

OHSAA Bylaws for Student in Grades 7-12

Please familiarize yourself with the following OHSAA Bylaws:

All beginning seventh graders are eligible insofar as the scholarship bylaw.
All beginning ninth graders must have passed a minimum of five of all subjects in which enrolled the immediately preceding grading period.
Eligibility for each grading period is determined by grades received in the preceding grading period. Per Bylaw 4-4-1, a grading period is defined as the school’s Board-adopted calendar (e.g. six week, nine week, 12 week or semester). Semester and yearly grades have no effect on OHSAA eligibility.
Grades 9-12: To be eligible, a student-athlete must have received passing grades in a minimum of five one-credit courses, or the equivalent, in the immediately preceding grading period (Note: Students taking post-secondary options must comply with these standards along with those participating via state law that permits home educated, non-public, community and STEM school students to participate at public schools in the district of residence of the parents).
Grades 7-8: To be eligible, a student-athlete must have received passing grades in a minimum of five of all subjects in which enrolled the immediately preceding grading period. Students who are participating via state law that permits home educated, non-public, community and STEM school students to participate at public schools in the district of residence of the parents must also comply.
For eligibility, summer school grades shall not be used to substitute for failing grades received in the final grading period of the regular school year or for lack of enough courses taken in the preceding grading period.

NOTE: “Grading period” is defined as your school’s board-adopted calendar. In most school districts, this is a nine-week period, while some districts use six- or 12-week periods or semesters. It should also be noted, however, that interim, biweekly or weekly evaluations are not considered “grading period,” and restoration of eligibility is NOT permitted after such evaluations.

Examples of Determining Student Eligibility – Grades 9-12:
Passing grades must have been received in a minimum of five one-credit courses, or the equivalent, in the immediately preceding grading period. To determine credit equivalency, multiply full-year courses by a factor of 1; semester courses by a factor of 2; twelve-week courses by a factor of 3; and nine-week courses by a factor of 4.

NOTE: In addition to any local standards or state mandated standards (GPA), the OHSAA standards must be met without exception in order to maintain athletic eligibility.

For information on Credit Flex as it relates to OHSAA eligibility standards, please go to www.ohsaa.org/eligibility/default.asp

Quick Reference for Protecting Student Eligibility

(HS)2  Academy Program of Studies

2017-2018

Parents and students share the responsibility to comply with scholarship standards. Therefore, a student should be advised not to drop a class without first consulting with the athletic administrator to determine whether it will affect athletic eligibility
Advise any student- athlete who desires to transfer that transferring may affect eligibility. At the beginning of the ninth grade year, students may enroll in and attend any member school that accepts him or her. Once eligibility has been established at a member school, a student who transfers will be ineligible for all contests until the first 50 percent of the maximum allowable regular season contests have been competed in any sport in which the student participated during the previous 12 months unless one of the exceptions to the transfer bylaw is met. Should one of your student-athletes plan to transfer, set up a meeting between the student-athlete, his/her parents and your school principal or athletic administrator to review what affect the transfer will have on athletic eligibility.
Be knowledgeable of the OHSAA eligibility requirements.
Attempt to identify students who are or may become athletes when reviewing class schedules. Insure that student-athletes are taking enough courses to meet the eligibility requirements so that they may participate the next grading period.
Work closely with the coaches and athletic director.
Contact the athletic director or principal on questions pertaining to eligibility and ask them to discuss any unresolved issues with the administrators in the OHSAA office who handle eligibility issues.

NOTE: The OHSAA has no minimum grade point (GPA) requirement, thus issues regarding eligibility when only the GPA is of concern is strictly a local school district matter and not an OHSAA matter.
**Please note, Reynoldsburg City Schools has a 2.0 GPA requirement. The NCAA has a 2.3 GPA requirement. If you would like further information about NCAA eligibility, please visit their website.

College/Career Readiness Options
Students must meet one of the three college/career readiness options in addition to the curriculum requirements mapped out by Ohio’s Department of Education. The three options are as follows…

Ohio State Tests
Students earn a cumulative passing score of 18 points, using seven end-of-course state tests. To ensure the students are well rounded, they must earn a minimum of four points in math, four points in English and six points across science and social studies.

End-of-course exams are:

Algebra I and Geometry or Integrated Math I and II.
Biology
American History and American Government
English I and English II

Note: Students studying Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses in biology, American History or American Government may take and substitute test scores for end-of-course state exams to earn graduation points.
Students also may substitute grades from College Credit Plus courses in these science and social studies subjects for end-of- course state exams.

Industry Credential and Workforce Readiness
Students earn 12 points through a State Board of Education-approved, industry-recognized credential or group of credentials in a single career field and achieve a workforce readiness score on the WorkKeys assessment. The state of Ohio will pay one time for those who take the WorkKeys assessment.

College and Career Readiness Tests
Students earn “remediation-free” scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics on a nationally recognized college admissions exam. The state of Ohio will pay one time for all 11th grade students in the class of 2018 and beyond to take either the ACT or SAT free of charge. The student’s district selection applies to all schools in the district for one school year. Test selection may change from one school year to the next.

These recommendations must be supported by tangible evidence of the student’s outstanding achievement. Some examples include teacher-made tests, portfolios, special projects, volunteer/community service, and demonstration of creativity.

President’s Award for Educational Achievement

The Presidential certificate is a seniors-only award. The purpose of this award is to recognize students that show outstanding educational growth, improvement, commitment or intellectual development in their academic subjects but do not meet the criteria for the President’s Award for Educational Excellence. This award should not be compared to the President’s Award for Educational Excellence or be seen as a second tier award, for it recognizes a very different type of academic achievement. It is meant to encourage and reward students who work hard and give their best effort in school, often in the face of special obstacles to their learning.

This award is given at the principal’s discretion based on the criteria developed at the school. The criteria should reflect the purpose of the award and must be applied fairly to all students.

(HS)2  Academy Program of Studies	2017-2018

The following are examples of criteria for which the President’s Award for Educational Achievement may be presented:

Show tremendous growth but did not meet all the criteria for the President’s Award for Educational Excellence.
Demonstrate unusual commitment to learning in academics despite various obstacles.
Maintain a school record that would have met the school’s selection criteria for the President’s Award for Educational Excellence but illness, personal crisis, or special needs prevented the student from maintaining such high standards despite hard work.
Achieve high scores or show outstanding growth, improvement, commitment or intellectual development in particular subjects, such as English, math, science, etc.
Demonstrate achievement in the arts such as music or theater.
