Rochford, Joseph A.; O'Neill, Adrienne; Gelb, Adele; Ross, Kimberly J.; Ughrin, Tina
Stark Education Partnership
This is the eighth annual report by the Stark Education Partnership on dual enrollment and other post secondary opportunities (PSOs) for the county's high school students. In addition to dual enrollment, this report looks at a portfolio of the county's PSOs that includes Canton Early College High School, and the opportunity to bank future college credit through Advanced Placement (AP) and Career Technical Education (CTE) coursework. Together, these options represent an ongoing local commitment to increase college attainment and build a workforce best suited to meet the future needs of Stark County and Ohio. Post secondary opportunities (PSOs) for high school students continued to grow in Stark County during the 2013-14 academic year. School districts increased their focus on developing a college-going culture through Advanced Placement and Career Technical courses, as well as through local partnerships with higher education that expanded dual credit offerings.
