Ninth Graders MUST Choose an Endorsement.





Texas House Bill 5 mandates that all ninth grade students (beginning in the
2014-15 school year) select an Endorsement.
Ultimately, it is the students’ and parents/guardians’ responsibility to decide
on a graduation option that best meets a student’s needs and maximizes
opportunities after high school.
Students must wait until they complete the 10th grade and have
parent/guardian permission in writing to select the Foundation Plan, unless
they meet other state-mandated criteria.
Students and parents/guardians are responsible for enrolling in and
monitoring the successful completion of courses required for graduation.
