TRANSITION PLAN
High School Graduation Requirements 74.11(a) To receive a high school diploma, a student entering
Grade 9 in the 2014-15 school year and thereafter must complete the following:(1) requirements of the Foundation HS Program (74.12);(2) testing requirements for graduation as specified in Ch. 101; and(3)Demonstrated proficiency, as determined by the district…in delivering clear verbal messages; choosing
effective nonverbal behaviors; listening for desired results; applying valid critical-thinking and problem-solving processes; and identifying, analyzing, developing, and evaluating communication skills needed for professional and social success in interpersonal situations, group interaction, and personal and professional presentations.
Transition Plan
•Students who are in grade 9, 10, or 11 in the 2013-2014 school year must be given a choice to graduate the MHSP, RHSP, DAP or Foundation HS Program.•This includes endorsements, Performance Acknowledgements, and the DAP under this plan.
Transition Plan
A school district shall allow a student who entered Grade 9 in the 2012-2013 or before to complete the curriculum requirements required for high school graduation under the foundation high school program• if the student chooses during the 2014-2015 school year to take courses under this program;
Transition Plan• A student who entered Grade 9 prior to the 2014-2015 school year may, at any time prior to graduation and upon request, choose to complete the curriculum requirements required for high school graduation under a different program than that selected by the student during the 2014-2015 school year.
Transition Plan: 2013-2014 Graduates
• Only those who graduate before September 2014 are eligible.
• A student must earn at least 22 and one-half credits to complete the foundation high school program.
• English language arts--four credits. Three of the credits must consist of English I, II, and III.

• Social studies--three credits. Two of the credits must consist of United States History Studies Since 1877 (one credit), United States Government (one-half credit), and Economics with Emphasis on the Free Enterprise System and Its Benefits (one-half credit).
FOUNDATION PLAN
Foundation – Statutory RequirementsBeginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a school district must ensure that each student, on entering ninth grade indicates in writing an endorsement that the student intends to earn.
TEA indicated that the endorsement chosen by the student will be reported on the 1st PEIMS submission each year
A district must permit a student to choose, at any time, to earn an endorsement other than the endorsement the student previously indicated.

Reasoning is an acceptable endorsement math sequences long as the endorsement does not require Algebra II or courses beyond Algebra II.
• MMA will not be eliminated after Sept. 1, 2015. • But it can NOT count as the fourth Math credit for an
Endorsement after this date.• Algebra I then Geometry then MMA would fulfill the
Foundation Program math requirement• After Sept 1, 2015, MMA will not be on the list of 4th math
credit available, but Algebraic Reasoning would count.• “A student may complete a course listed in paragraph (2) of this
subsection before or after completing a course listed in §74.12(b)(2)(A) of this title.”
