SUPPLEMENTARY AGENDA ITEM #1

 

Background.

 

In October 2002 the Michigan Department of Education assigned the rating of AApproval Pending@ to EMU=s health education program (which consists of a minor in health education).  The effect of an AApproval Pending@ determination is essentially Ayou don=t meet state Standards and you have two years either to get your program approved or to have your authorization to offer programming in this field terminated.@

 

The Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance has addressed this issue.  A revision of the program has been prepared (including all materials necessary to send to MDE) and approved by the HPERD Instruction Committee, the HPERD Department Head, and the Basic Programs Committee. 

 

The Basic Programs Committee recommends the following to the COE Council.
