Major Action Steps: ​(1) Review of existing course acceleration policy and process; (2) Revise policy and process to
include grade and course acceleration guidelines; (3) Examine and refine master schedules to allow for flexibility with
grade/course acceleration; (4) Implement revised acceleration process; (5) Monitor progress and provide conferencing
for those students recommended for acceleration and; (6) Revise process based upon results.
Estimated Budget/Resources:​ There is a potential cost to provide transportation to support accelerated courses.
Potential Implications (Short-Term and Long-Term): Initially, there may be a spike in the number of requests for
acceleration consideration. Staffing implications could result. Students’ academic growth could be positively
impacted through grade and course acceleration due to students being taught at their true instructional level.
