Districts are encouraged to standardize lottery practices across campuses implementing the College and Career Readiness School Model.
BENCHMARK 4: ACADEMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
The P-TECH/ICIA program shall provide a rigorous course of study that enables a participating student to receive a high school diploma, an associate degree, postsecondary certificate provided by an IHE, or industry certification during Grades 9-14.
