PTSA Council 2.6
Math
Resolution
A resolution relating to proposed definitions of the mathematics credits required for high school graduation.
WHEREAS, the 2007 Legislature passed 2SHB-1906 which
directs the State Board of Education to amend high school graduation
requirements to include a minimum of three credits of mathematics, one of which
may be a career and technical course equivalent in mathematics, and describe the
required content; and
WHEREAS, minimum success on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) in mathematics depends on the successful completion of Algebra II.
WHEREAS, community and technical college academic programs, high-wage workforce programs, and most medium-wage workforce programs require Algebra II skills for entry or completion; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Issaquah PTSA Council 2.6 recommends to the State Board of Education and to the Issaquah School District that the third credit of math to be required for high school graduation be aligned with Algebra II-level concepts and skills, and for high school career and technical programs to develop courses which include practical math applications reflecting those concepts and skills.
