| HI | Signed into law 06/2005 | P-12
Postsec. | The purpose of this Act is for schools whose student population includes at least twenty per cent or one hundred students from military families as determined by the department of education to provide for the following:
(1) Additional staff;
(2) Child care services; and
(3) Vocational training and retraining. Makes an appropriation for these.
Requires the department of education to consult with the Joint Venture Education Forum to establish a priority listing of public schools that are impacted by a large population of military dependent students. In the development of the priority listing, requires the department to consider establishing priority schools with a twenty per cent or more or one hundred or more population of dependent military students.
Requires the University of Hawaii to establish a program to allow readmission to military members who have been deployed. http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/sessioncurrent/bills/sb1394_sd1_.htm

Community College | Expands use of common application form to community colleges. From bill analysis: The Common Application Advisory Committee, convened by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (board), has successfully created and launched a common admissions application that is accepted by all public universities. Through this single form, a student may apply to up to six different universities, rather than complete unique applications for each institution. The form has significantly simplified the admission application process for Texas students. Although the process of applying for admission to public universities has been greatly simplified through the development of the statewide common application, the majority of students enrolling during the next two decades are expected to begin their studies at community colleges. Currently, each of those institutions has its own unique form. S.B. 502 requires the board to collaborate with community college representatives to develop a common application form for junior college districts, public state colleges, and public technical institutes.

| AR | Signed into law 04/2005 | P-12
Postsec. | Requires each district's student services plan to include a district-level tracking system for students who fail to reach proficiency on state-mandated assessments. Specifies that guidance and counseling services in each district's "student services program" include academic advisement for class selection by establishing academic goals in elementary, middle, and high school; interpretation of criterion-referenced and norm-referenced testing and dissemination of results to the school, students, parents, and community; academic assessment counseling and career counseling, including advising students on the national college assessments, workforce opportunities, and and alternative programs that could provide postsecondary opportunities for students; and guidance in understanding the relationship between classroom performance and success in school.
Specifies that the psychological services offered through a district's student services program include consultation and counseling with parents, students, and school personnel to ensure that all students are ready to succeed and that all students are preparing for college and work.
Specifies that the career services offered through a district's student services program include the dissemination of appropriate course-taking patterns and the effect of taking more rigorous courses so that students are better prepared for college and work success.
Requires every school counselor to provide a career planning process for each student to include career awareness, employment readiness, career information, and the knowledge and skill necessary to achieve career goals. Requires school counselors to also encourage parents, during regular parent conferences, to support partnerships in their children's learning and career planning process.

Postsec. | Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, requires, with certain exceptions, a student to complete the Core 40 curriculum in order to graduate from high school. Beginning with the 2011-2012 academic year, requires, with certain exceptions, a student to have completed the Core 40 curriculum or a curriculum that is the equivalent to be admitted to a four-year degree program in a state educational institution. Adds the following options for students who fail to pass the high school graduation exam: Completes i) the course and credit requirements for a general diploma, including the career academic sequence; ii) a workforce readiness assessment; and (iii) at least one (1) career exploration internship, cooperative education, or workforce credential recommended by the student's school; or obtains a written recommendation from a teacher of the student in each subject area in which the student has not achieved a passing score on the graduation examination. The written recommendation must be concurred in by the principal of the student's school and be supported by documentation that the student has attained the academic standard in the subject area based upon:(i) tests other than the graduation examination; or (ii) classroom work. Upon the request of a student's parent, the student may be exempted from the Core 40 curriculum requirement. Itemizes other provisions that apply to students not completing the Core 40. Requires the department of education to conduct a study to determine whether a shortage of math, science, and special education teachers exists, particularly in urban and rural areas. Makes transitional provisions maintaining the current standards until the new standards take effect. http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2005/SE/SE0200.1.html
