Dear Subscribers:

I am doing a practicum for my adult education class at Auburn University, and 
the project I chose is on our diploma completion program.  Our system in 
Anniston, Alabama, only began this alternative to the GED two years ago, and 
when we started, we were only the third school in Alabama to offer it.  For 
students who have not been able to pass our state's high school exit exam, or 
who for some other reason have left the regular public school system, it can 
be an easier alternative to the GED if they lack only a few high school 
credits.

My question is: how many other states offer this type of program?  How long 
has it been available in your state?  I would appreciate any input you might 
provide.

Thanks for your help!
Kathy Butterworth
Oxford, Alabama
