Course Code Creation -SEA (con’t)
4. Bureau Chief approves/denies 5. Bureau Chief routes internally to InfoTech 6. IT creates STARS code, if needed 7. ISVED notifies LEA result
Intended Result of Course Code Review Process
Students - on grade-level Courses - fidelity to Content Standards Students - prepared for competitive world work force
