When considering course options for retaking or supplementing courses, a good metric for determining if something is supplemental in nature is to look at the course standards previously covered. Considerations should be made regarding what is reasonably connected to that previous course standards coverage. Ultimately, KDE is leaving it to local districts to determine which courses are supplemental in nature and which are not. After approval of requests for a supplemental year, SB 128 provides that local school districts may establish policies on grades, schedules, classifications, graduation ceremonies and other operational issues in offering the supplemental school year.
