OPS four-year pilot programs are still high school-oriented. Has the district considered a six-year program-four-plus-two-connecting high school and postsecondary?
DeLayne Havlovic: You know, we’re really less than a year into our postsecondary partnership the way it looks right now. We haven’t really talked about a four-plus-two option, but what we have done is we have set a goal for 12 credit hours upon graduation from high school so that would be at least three credit hours each year. That would give them basically a four-plus-one, if you consider the 12-hour load as a full-time student at the college level. And the options, the opportunities, would be beyond that as well. If students were interested, they could go beyond that as well. Karen Spencer-May: You know, the other thing to remember, though, is that high school students are not college students. As they get into the junior and senior year of high school, they may be more mature, and sometimes that skill level is a little better. And so, what we’re seeing is that, we still need to treat them as high school students and that as they get towards the end of their high school career, then
