At the August 26th school board meeting, we addressed the board in open forum, on the subject of high school graduation requirements. We asked the board to focus on aligning the graduation requirements with those of the UC and Cal State systems. In outlining his "focus goals" for the year, Dr. Skelly said he intends to examine and update the graduation requirements. He said he would come back in November with more on this subject. Here's a link to the school district's strategic plan for the year. It calls for the district to "better align graduation requirements with college entry requirements." We believe that they should be fully aligned in every subject, in order to ensure college readiness for all.
