New Kensington-Arnold School District officials said Wednesday they are discussing the level of importance to place on projects the state mandates high school seniors complete.
District officials said it remains to be seen whether the projects will be directly linked to graduation.
According to a new state law district officials refer to as Chapter Four, district students now in eighth grade are required to complete a career-related project by the time they graduate. They will be introduced to the project when they are in 10th grade.
School board member Jack Delk said the the projects will be vocation-focused and might resemble a research-paper format.
Officials said each child will investigate a career and present his findings in a public forum, albeit in a classroom setting.
Valley High School Principal Ned Hageal said district officials have not designed a format for the projects although it is certain students will start the projects in their junior year and complete them the second half of their senior year.
