7. Dual Enrollment to Replace AP Offerings: Staff recommends scaling back on advance placement courses and instead opt to get students dual-enrolled at Cabrillo. We can work to have a Cabrillo offering classes here on our campus in the future (at least one year out for planning).
8. CA moving to Next Generation Science standards.
9. Athletics for 17-18: Just completed second year of athletics program. Athletics provides outlet for setting shorter term goals and gets that outlet for exercise.
