Please note, the legal provisions did not apply to individual programs, but the practical application of the legislation requires the Department to approve program drops individually. The individual program approval process should not be construed as an indication that individual program changes which result in the same number of programs offered by a school district are contrary to the provisions of HB 282. Such changes will automatically be approved by the Department if they do not result in reductions in program numbers. Definitions Program - A program will be considered, for this policy, a vocational course code per building. Programs with 09.01XX course codes will be considered as one program.
Programs are normally more than one class.
