Graduation Pathways

We recognize the new Ohio graduation pathways and the need for schools to connect students in pathways that qualify them for graduation. Our goals this past year was to explore how the Lorain County BAC can connect our schools to businesses who can help students gain the required hours for graduation. At our May 4th BAC meeting, we had Daniell Hotztrager present “Ohio Graduation Pathways and the Workplace.”  Danielle Holztrager was from the Region 2 State Support Team and provided a brief overview of the new graduation requirements. She also highlighted the pathways where employers may be asked to provide documentation of student workplace hours, as well as discuss other instances where Lorain County businesses may have an opportunity to participate. The members found this discussion helpful. We also know the information was helpful to our businesses as they often are not aware of the new legislation. Our intent was to use this information as a springboard as our task force meets over the 2023-24 school year.
