INDIVIDUAL CAREER AND ACADEMIC PLAN
An "Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP)" means an individualized plan that is used to help establish personalized academic and career goals, explore postsecondary career opportunities, including, but not limited to, military careers, apprenticeship programs, career and technology programs leading to certification or licensure, educational opportunities, align coursework and curriculum, apply to postsecondary institutions, secure financial aid and ultimately enter the workforce. The plan shall be developed by the student and the student's parent or legal guardian, in collaboration with their school counselors, school administrators, teachers and other school personnel.
The district shall provide ICAP information to all students in grades 6 th through 12th . District employees, as designated by the superintendent, shall work with students and their parent or legal guardian in creating an ICAP that will meet the interests and needs of the student as determined by the student and their parent or legal guardian.
Beginning with students entering the ninth grade in the 2019-2020 school year, each student shall be required to complete the process of an ICAP in order to graduate from the school district with a standard diploma. Each year thereafter, students shall annually update their ICAP. The ICAP shall include, but not be limited to:
a. career- and college-interest surveys,
b. written postsecondary and workforce goals and information of progress toward these goals,
c. intentional sequence of courses that reflect progress toward the postsecondary goal,
d. the student's academic progress, including courses taken, assessment scores, any remediation or credit recovery and any Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, concurrent or dual enrollment credits earned and/or career certificate(s), certification(s), or endorsements, and
e. experience in-service learning and/or work environment activities.
ICAPs for students with disabilities, as defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), P.L. No. 105-17, shall consider and work in cooperation with the student's individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, P.L. No. 93-112.
