Purpose
The purpose of the High School Essential Program Components (EPC) Resource Kit (Resource Kit) is to support the efforts of school districts in districtwide planning and implementing the nine Essential Program Components of a high school academic program. The Resource Kit offers suggestions consolidated from practices in selected school districts in California, some of which have state-monitored and Program Improvement (PI) schools.
The California Department of Education (CDE) recognizes that all schools are unique. Accordingly, suggestions within this Resource Kit are meant to serve as guidelines that may be adjusted to meet the needs of each school site.
