Senator Charles Schumer has proposed two new CTE/STEM-focused high school diplomas to be issued within the State of New York in an effort to promote STEM-qualified students for high-tech manufacturing and other middle skill jobs within the state. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20121114/NEWS10/311140059/Schumer-pushes-new-diplomas-promote-high-tech-industries?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE&nclick_check=1
In a similar effort, the Spokane Valley schools are offering an alternative CTE diploma, requiring two fewer credits to be earned than the traditional high school diploma, as a means to reach students otherwise at-risk of dropping out. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2012/nov/03/education-option/
This appears to continues a trend from Arizona's Chandler Unified School District offering STEM diplomas, on which information was included in this blog approximately a year ago. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2011/12/arizona_high_school_to_offer_n.html
