		PROGRAMS & SERVICES: SECONDARY SCHOOL RENEWAL & INNOVATION (Updated 11/6/09)     OVERVIEW       Information and additional resources for high school (secondary education) are available on the Transformation of Education Web page.     RESOURCES       High School Completion (Act 44) (Added 11/6/09) High school completion is highlighted in Act 44 with a goal of increasing the high school graduation rate to 100 percent by 2020. There are several provisions directed toward strengthening support for students who would benefit from flexible pathways to graduation.       High Schools on the Move: Renewing Vermont's Commitment to Quality Secondary Education In 1999, the State Board of Education charged the Department of Education to convene a task force to address critical issues facing Vermont’s secondary schools. This document, based on the work of the task force, presented a vision for secondary school renewal and innovation in the state. It served as a call to action and a toolkit to help educators and communities chart their own courses for secondary school change.       Vermont Secondary Schools for the 21st Century While the transformation the State Board proposes encompasses all of Vermont’s schools, the purpose of this document is to describe what the state vision for transformation might mean for Vermont’s secondary schools. This document takes the vision to the next step, implementation.     CONTACT INFORMATION       Rae Ann Knopf, Deputy Commissioner (802) 828-5101 (P) (802) 828-3146 (F) rae.knopf@state.vt.us                                 PDF files require the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
