Boston Considers Redesigning High Schools

Sun Jun 27, 1:42 PM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!

BOSTON - School officials want to redesign the traditional four-year high school to allow students to work at their own pace toward graduation.

The proposal is part of several changes the Boston School Committee could approve as soon as next month.

Existing rules require freshmen to repeat ninth grade if they fail English or math or two courses in science, history or languages.

Under the proposed new plan, students would repeat classes they fail instead of the entire grade and advance to the next level in classes they pass.

Advanced students could graduate in three years while struggling students could take up to five years to finish.

Critics say students need grade levels for structure, but Superintendent Thomas W. Payzant said too many students repeat grades, attend summer school or drop out under the current system.

The committee has asked Payzant to provide a detailed report for its next meeting. The panel could approve the plan in July or September, Payzant said.
