If a student gets his or her carpenter's license or cosmetology license, the state would consider them proficient with their trade.

Each state has the autonomy or discretion to determine how they will measure whether their students are proficient. PSSA is Pennsylvania's answer.

The license is the culmination of 8 1/2 years of a very vigorous licensing process during which the state of Utah has been a full participant. We had to win every single argument to show this facility could be safely operated, and we won all those arguments.

If (the student center) gets used a lot, I can see it potentially being worthwhile. I just wish it didn't have to get done by raising our tuition.

It is a rarity for a student to make all-state ensembles all four years of high school, but it looks like Charlton is well on her way.

Before this, every single nursing program in the state of Oregon had different prerequisites, so a student who wanted to apply here and at Linn-Benton (Community College) had to take a whole different set of prerequisites even to apply. That's crazy. This (change) is a huge benefit to students.
