CCP not always
possible for small districts
ANSONIA – Responding to the recent ODE criteria change for College
Credit Plus (CCP) classes, Superintendent for Mississinawa Valley and
Ansonia Local Schools Jim Atchley said he still wasn’t sure how that
would impact his districts.
Earlier he had said the requirement that a student must be registered

classes would probably be the only way we could do it.”
The Jan. 5 ODE Board of Regents action (that still has to be approved

The requirement begins this fall.
“We currently have Edison (Community College) qualifying our teachers,”
Atchley said. “We’re hopeful we can at least offer one or two courses

to their campuses, “but the concern is whether we can offer class sizes
large enough.”

to get college credit. Some districts use both. Ansonia and
Mississinawa Valley only use PSEOP. Under that plan students get
college credit but not high school credit. Ansonia currently has 16
students attending Edison; Mississinawa Valley has 18...
