We are able to supply older laptops to the students that are not fully funded through the state because they are older than 21 years old. We are servicing 55 students older than 21. Annette asked about the hours spent to work with the students. The coach understands that they are volunteering their time. They are not to take extra time from their funded students. Annette wants to know if there is a way to keep track of hours and accomplishments. Tom asked about background checks. It is not asked of them. They do not have any interaction with other students or involved with school activities. Paul Dada Wani and Vianna Johnson just recently received their diplomas.

5 GOAL Board Resolution # A Academic Credit Acquisition Policy Work Keys Certificates are standardized and shows they have achieved a professional level of actual work abilities and knowledge. Brad was wondering if most states have something similar or equal to. Work Keys is from ACT ( College Test). Colorado is one of the first states. Only a handful of schools offer Work Keys. Work Force centers will not charge us for our students to take the exam. If any charge it is only $15 and GOAL will pay for the testing. Do employers know about the Certificates? Major corporations and metropolitan areas are knowledgeable.
