Subject: Issues with CCP Class Enrollment
I’m reaching out to express my concern regarding my daughter’s denial of enrollment in CCP classes in Ohio.
As a student at the school where I work, she is eligible to attend due to the “follow parent to school” provision in my contract, which supports open enrollment. However, we were informed today by her school counselor that she cannot enroll in CCP classes.
I can’t help but feel that the counselor may not be supportive and has an unfavorable view of my daughter, which is troubling.
This situation is surprising to us, as it probably would have influenced our decision about where to enroll our children from the start.
Is this situation legal? It raises several questions for me.
For context, my daughter maintains a GPA of 4.2, and her older sister previously enrolled in CCP classes under the same conditions.
I’m sorry to hear about the challenges your daughter is facing with CCP enrollment. It must be frustrating, especially with her strong GPA. While policies can vary, Ohio does have guidelines for College Credit Plus (CCP) participation that generally focus on academic readiness rather than residency or enrollment status. Given that her sister was able to take CCP classes, it seems like there may be inconsistencies in how this situation is being handled.
I recommend reviewing both your school district’s policies and Ohio’s CCP guidelines. If you believe there are discrepancies or if the school counselor is being dismissive, it might be worth arranging a meeting with the counselor, school administration, or even the district’s educational office to discuss your concerns directly.
Additionally, keep documentation of your communications and any relevant information related to her academic performance and eligibility. If all else fails, you could consider seeking advice from an education advocate or lawyer familiar with Ohio education law.
You’re advocating for your daughter’s education, which is crucial, and it’s important to pursue this until you find a resolution. Good luck!
