GRADUATION
POLICIES
The
Board of Education has adopted the following graduation policies:
A. A course designated as
prerequisite to another must be taken in the prescribed order
(exceptions may be granted by school administration through student
demonstration of proficiency and career goals).
B. Students are to be
scheduled six periods each semester for at least their first seven
semesters to complete the 225 credits required for graduation.
Commencing
with the graduating class of 1984, twelfth grade pupils in the last
semester before graduation, shall be enrolled in at least five courses
or a minimum of 180 minutes on campus combined with education programs
and/or work experience programs equivalent to the approved high school
course of study.
C. Student access to all
State and district mandated instruction is guaranteed by placing this
content in required classes.
D. High school principals are
authorized to grant exceptions to specific requirements in cases where
strict adherence would create unusual hardship (i.e., transfer students
from out-of-state).
PROMOTION/RETENTION
POLICY
[top]
Effective
September 1983, once a student is enrolled in a high school, promotion
in grades nine through twelve is to be based upon credits earned toward
meeting the graduation requirements. Promotion from grade to grade is not announced routinely as
in other segments of the district.
The number of total credits reported on the continuous guidance
report indicates the grade level of the student as follows:
| 0 - 44 credits |
9th Grade |
| 45 - 104 credits |
10th Grade |
| 105 - 164 credits |
11th Grade |
| 165 credits and
above |
12th Grade |
When
it is apparent that a student cannot complete sufficient credit to
graduate on schedule, the principal or designee will be responsible for
notifying the parents/guardians in writing of the grade level retention.
This will be done at the end of each school year.
The parents/guardians of seniors deficient in credits at the end
of the first semester for June graduation will be notified in writing by
the principal or designee no later than March 1st.
Deadline
for notifications to parents regarding notices of unsatisfactory course
work and report cards are to be included in the annual Pupil Progress
Reporting Calendar issued by the Pupil Services Department.
Policy
for Special
Education
[top]
A
special education student who transfers to a regular program will
receive credit for all courses taken and completed satisfactorily in
special education which apply toward meeting promotion and/or graduation
requirements.
