Note: As documentation, all Prerequisites and Credits claimed require a brief narrative of the approach used to meet the intent of the criteria. This sample CHPS Scorecard
provides examples of the Narrative, Calculations and References required to complete the scorecard. These examples are intended as an example of the type of information
required by CHPS. Your narrative should document the design approach the design team has chosen for each of the criteria While this example scorecard has provided examples
for all credits and prerequistes, no school will claim points for all the credits available. A narrative should only be provided for prerequisites and credits being claimed for your
particular school.
