Saratoga High proposes counting Ethnic Studies toward geography requirement
Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District · Aug 6, 2026
What happened
The August 6 agenda proposed a one-semester waiver under which Saratoga High's Ethnic Studies course would satisfy the district's one-semester World Geography graduation requirement.
Why it matters to families
If approved, the change alters how Saratoga High students can complete a local graduation requirement and links the new Ethnic Studies offering to the existing geography requirement.
The evidence
The official agenda describes the waiver and recommended substitution. No completed vote is claimed because the manually supplied record was an agenda, not approved minutes.
