Second-Read Policies on Graduation, Competency Determination, Attendance, and Middle School Pathways Slated for Approval
What happened
The December 3, 2025 agenda lists four policies for second-read approval: IKF (Graduation Requirement), IKFE (Competency Determination, replacing MCAS-based requirement), JH (Student Absences and Excuses), and IHAIA (Middle School Pathway Exploration Policy). These are listed as agenda items for approval, not yet confirmed as adopted in minutes.
Why it matters to families
These policies directly affect graduation requirements, how students meet competency determination in place of the former MCAS requirement, and how student absences are handled—all of which are family-facing operating changes with direct impact on students and parents.
