The Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) shall target and enroll historically underserved students. The campus must enable students who are at-risk of dropping out or those who wish to accelerate completion of high school to combine high school courses and college-level courses. Every P-TECH must enroll at least a 9th grade class during their first year of implementation. If a P-TECH phases out their services, the academy must be prepared to provide services to each enrolled cohort through graduation.
• Written admission policy, and enrollment application
• Written recruitment plan, including a timeline of recruitment and enrollment events, and recruitment materials for distribution at feeder middle schools and other appropriate locations in the community
• Brochures and marketing in Spanish, English, and/or other relevant language(s)
• Written communication plan for targeting identified audiences (e.g., parents, community members, school boards, higher education personnel, etc.)
• Written lottery procedures (district-level or campus-level)
SMISD does not have a lottery system. We have a school within a school model. All 9th graders will be a part of the cohort, but all students are receiving post-secondary services to be college or career ready by graduation.
