Failure to achieve proficiency in the retest requires a passing grade on a final examination and a passing course grade for any and all deficient subject areas reported by the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. The student must pass both the course and the final examination in order to graduate. If a student fails to show evidence of this proficiency, the student can achieve a Shikellamy diploma by passing a summer school course or by returning for an additional school year to achieve a passing grade. The curriculum is under revision to align it with the 1999 (Pennsylvania Academic Standards ). These standards are assessed in the third through eighth and eleventh grades under the guise of the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. These tests last several days and cover Reading, Writing, Speaking, Mathematics, and Science. Revision of the Shikellamy School District's mathematics curriculum, to bring it into compliance with Chapter 4 regulations of 2000, began in fall 2007. In 2007, Shikellamy School District was awarded two state grants to improve the education of their high school students. The administration announced the receipt of a three-year Project 720 grant of $270,000.〔Scott, Rob, "School District gets grant", The Daily Item, August 10, 2007.〕 Some of these dollars will be used to revise the graduation project to include a career component. The district was also awarded a $339,000 grant to infuse technology into the core curriculum of the high school. The Classrooms for the Future grant provides laptop computers for English, math, science and social studies classrooms.〔Race, Michael, "Classrooms for the Future Schools", Pennsylvania Department of Education, August 30, 2007.〕 Additionally, the state will cover the salary of a part-time teacher technology coach whose role is to assist the teachers in using the equipment and software effectively to improve their instruction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shikellamy High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
