In rare instances where a principal, in consultation with parents, teachers, counselors, and the student, has evidence that a substitute path is appropriate, the student may take the following sequence:
+Algebra I or Integrated

Note: N.C.G.S. §115C-81(b) will remain in effect.
Math Substitution
e.g. Applied Math I and Applied Math II
Principles of Business and Personal Finance and Small Business Entrepreneurship
Drafting I and Drafting II
Suggested Decision-Making Process for Mathematics Substitution
Request is made
Committee convenes
Review Multiple DataSources
• A written request with reasons is made to substitute mathematics course credits to the recommended Future Ready Core mathematics courses
• Request is received by the school counselor
• Request may be made from a parent/guardian, school counselor, principal (or designee), or teacher
• If the request is made by school personnel, evidence of parent consent should be present
• The principal convenes a school-based committee to review the request
• Committee should meet at a time amenable to a parent/guardian’s schedule
• Committee meets and reviews multiple sources of summative and formative assessment data
• Committee reviews intervention strategies that have been in place prior to the substitution request
• Committee considers student’s graduation timeframe
• Committee makes recommendation aligned with student needs and post-secondary plans
• Principal receives the committee recommendation
1 2 3
A student’s parent/guardian should be fully informed and involved throughout the process
Decision by Principal
5
• Principal makes the final decision.
• All relevant parties are informed.
• Schedule is changed to minimize any lost instructional time
• Documentation of decision and changes are noted

Will you be prepared for the future you envision?
Graduate-o-MeterMATH: You need to take 4 math classes and they should include Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II or Integrated Math I,II, III. If you want to be able to apply to the university system, you will need a math higher than Algebra II. Click Here for a visual of the math sequence.
2 ELECTIVES of any combination from either• CTE• FOREIGN LANGUAGE (FYI: You'll need two FL classes to be eliglible to apply the university system)• ARTS
4 ELECTIVE CONCENTRATIONIt is suggested that you try to pick a 4 elective concentration. Examples of this might be 4 courses in choir or4 in JRTOC or4 in Automotive orYour school counselor can discuss your options for a concentration.
