Summary: On September 11, 2013, the MDUSD Board of Education approved the graduation requirement to increase from 200 to 220 credits at the comprehensive high schools and from 180 to 190 credits for the alternative high schools/adult education programs. These new requirements will be phased in with the requirement of 210 credits for the class of 2015 and 220 credits for the class of 2016.

It is recommended to raise the credit requirement for graduation from 180 credit to 200 credits for the alternative high schools and adult education beginning with the class of 2016. For the class of 2015, the graduation requirement will be phased in at 190.

Attached are the proposed updated Graduation Board Policy and Administrative Regulation for Graduation Requirements. The proposed Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6146 have integrated elements and former policy 6146.1 and reflect all requested changes and relevant legislation.
