14. 2nd Reading / Adoption on School Board Policies (action required):
|
|
14.a. Policy IKF: Graduation Requirements
Description:
There has been additional changes to graduation requirements in Oregon as a result of Senate Bill 1522 (2022). The bill provided a new definition for "an educational program in this state" and modified what credits the district shall accept from other educational programs in this state to satisfy credit requirements for a student to graduate.
An additional change modified the definition of "world language" in graduation requirements to include sign language, heritage language and languages other than a student's primary language. A graduation requirement policy is required if the district has graduation requirements in addition to the minimum requirements outlined in law, such as if the district requires more than 24 credit requirements for a high school diploma, has an honors diploma or has other noncredit requirements.
