The State Board of Education shall establish application procedures and select a school district to undertake an individualized instruction program pursuant to this chapter. The specific goal of the individualized instruction program authorized by this article shall be to convert at least one high school and the network of elementary and junior high schools which provide students to that high school to a program of individualized instruction based upon performance criteria, including the full integration of vocational education with the regular coursework, and to articulate this program with a community college. In authorizing this program, the Legislature recognizes that conversion of the entire network of schools may require incremental development beginning, for example, with a high school, one junior high school, and one elementary school.
