<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#002060">I just went to a training with OKCollegeStart last week. There is SO much you can do with them beyond the ICAP. I liked theirs because Chelsea has basically already built it
for us, you can add or delete any components of the curriculum that you would like. I like it also because of the electronic transcript component for the HS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#C00000">Thinking about the new ICAP requirements coming down the road, I would like to get the ball rolling. I am really confused though on which to use: OK Career Guide or OK College Start. Does anyone have any input
on which is best to use for 7th 8th and 9th graders transitioning to high school? Please let me know if there are certain things you like about either program.
