Memo Text

ACT 242 of 2023 created the process in which a public-school student may substitute comparable elective coursework pertaining to career and technical education for core academic classes that are required for graduation. The courses will be identified annually through a crosswalk released by the department of education.   

 

You will find the crosswalk for the 2024-2025 school year below and linked here. As a reminder, the crosswalk will be updated annually so the list below is only for the 2024-2025 school year. Courses will be reflected in the course code management system.
