In presenting the bill before Monday’s vote, Wiggins noted that existing law requires schools to provide supplemental instruction to students who do not demonstrate sufficient progress towards passing the California High School Exit Exam.
“However, there is a common misconception that remediation can only be offered through traditional practices,” she added. “This bill will clarify that schools can utilize a project-based or applied learning approach – similar to methods taught in career technical education – in their supplemental instruction programs, provided that the courses meet state academic standards and the programs are offered before or after school, on Saturdays or in the summer.”
SB 1442 authorizes school districts or charter schools that offer supplemental instructional to pupils who are not making progress toward passing the high school exit examination to offer courses that integrate core curriculum with project-based learning, including career technical education.
The bill also authorizes school districts or charter schools that offer supplemental instruction to pupils who are recommended for retention or retained in grade to offer courses that integrate core curriculum with project-based learning, including career technical education.
SB 1442 is supported by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the California Association of Leaders for Career Preparation, the California Chamber of Commerce, the California School Boards Association and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce.
The bill now heads to the Assembly for consideration.
A long-time advocate for career technical education programs, Wiggins serves on the Senate Select Committee on High School Graduation, and the Senate Select Committee on Schools and Community.
Wiggins represents California’s 2nd Senate District, which includes Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties. Visit her Web site at http://dist02.casen.govoffice.com/.

Unfortunately, many of our students can't afford dresses or suits to wear to the dance, so we are asking if anyone would like to donate their used dress or suit. It would be highly appreciated by all of the students who wouldn't be able to attend otherwise.
The economic classes of Carlé have been playing a role-playing game of economic survival. In this game, students would try to survive in a fictional world without going bankrupt. Students competed against one another in making the most money by the end of the game.
The three students with the most money received plaques made by Pegasus Productions. In third came Andre Ari; in second came Brendan Melton; and in first place (mutilating all competition) was the ever so modest Atlee Erickson.
The community service on April 19 at Rodman Slough was a great success. All of the students who served there were cheery and efficient, and the job was finished faster than expected.
On April 24 we had our gold level trip. All gold level students had an enormous paintball war as their reward for being exceptional students. Everyone enjoyed it of course. The students who participated raved about what a wonderful time they had.
Travis Conine, a former student of the week, described the trip as “Epik and amazing!” (Travis insisted that “Epik” be spelled with a “k.”
Daniel Miller was selected to be our student of the week. He is a great student with exceptional grades and a good attitude. He is the kind of student we want here at Carlé High School, and that is why the staff has selected him as student of the week. Congratulations Daniel!
Earth Day was last week, and if you decided to plant a tree or saved a baby penguin then good for you! You did better than the millions of people who just said “Happy Earth Day!” Now you have about 350 more days until you have to care about the Earth again! I am already ordering a coat made of baby seal pelts and bald eagle feathers. I figure I can dump some red paint on it next Earth Day.
Hope you enjoyed this week's Chronicle. Have a great week!

New representatives have been elected into our student government for the end of this year. The student government has been organizing the upcoming prom that will be held on May 10 right here on our campus. Tickets are already being sold to students, and everyone is very excited. It's obvious that springtime is in full swing.
The weather has been warm and clear every day this week, and it creates a noticeable difference in how things are going at school. Everyone is more energetic and things are moving much faster than in the winter months.
The end of the year is approaching very fast. The second-to-last grading period is ending now, meaning we have less than three months of school left.
Though summer is exciting, many of our seniors who are graduating are trying to enjoy their last days at Carlé, before they move on to the next stage of their lives to do things like seek higher education and building their careers. For some students it can be hard to fathom life after high school, but the goal of Carlé is to prepare our students so they can live it successfully.
The student of the week this week is the hard working Kristina Micheletti. She is a good student who works diligently in making as many credits as she can. We would like to congratulate her on being this week's student of the week!
Thank you for reading the Chronicle, have a great week!

I am very sorry, and I hope that this does not affect my journalistic integrity, but I must confess that the information displayed in my last article was not entirely truthful or accurate. Stephen Colbert is an American hero, but the teachers did not really select him for student of the week.
The reason I made that mistake was that the true student of the week reminded me very much of Stephen Colbert. He and Colbert are both intelligent, smart, courageous and, of course, modest men, both involved in the field of journalism. The student of the week was of course none other than Atlee Erickson, a man for whom I have a great amount of respect. I hope you don't mind that I am speaking about myself in the third-person, but it is objective and without bias in my articles.
Atlee Erickson was chosen because of his good schoolwork, his hard work in writing weekly articles that are read by intelligent and respectable individuals, and for his attitude of respect, honesty and, above all, modesty. Also, some of the teachers came to a recent realization that he isn't simply a lazy student that does as little as possible, but actually works moderately hard.
The new student of the week is deserving of even more respect. He is a great student, very creative, intelligent, works hard and is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Congratulations to David
Ochoa, this week's student of the week. He is a kind person, a talented rapper, and has a very likable and fun personality.
Lavonne “Pogo” Pattee presented her portfolio on April 4, Ricky Giambra presented his portfolio on April 7 and Matthew Tipton presented his on April 11. This is their last requirement before they can graduate Carlé, so congratulations to all of them.
The date for Carlé High School's prom has been set as May 10 and the theme will be the Carlé Moulin Rouge Masquerade Ball. The students are very excited about the upcoming dance.
“Prom is the bomb!” Mia Dupard answered when asked about prom.
On April 19 there is a community service opportunity with the Lake County Land Trust, cleaning
Rodman Slough. Rodman Slough is a wetland that empties into Clear Lake and is home to many forms of beautiful wildlife. A torch will be brought by a John Spriet to cut particularly large pieces of litter.
That is all for this week's Chronicle! I am sorry for any misunderstandings developed from my
last article. Have a great week!
