File Attachment:
Summary: During the 2020-21 school year, school closures and stay-at-home orders had a significant impact on our students. Senior students who would have attained the credits necessary to graduate have been unable to do so. Below are the CA State Minimum Graduation Requirements: - Three years of English - Two years of mathematics (including Algebra I) - Three years of social science (including U.S. History and geography; world history, culture, and geography; one semester of American Government; and one semester of economics) - Two years of science (including biology and physical science) - Two years of physical education - One year of foreign language or visual and performing arts commencing with the 2012-13 school year, career technical education. For the purpose of satisfying the minimum course requirement, a course in American Sign Language shall be deemed a course in a foreign language. Minimum Credit Requirements will be reduced for these impacted seniors to the following: - 2022-23: Comprehensive High School Sites: 180 credits / Alternative Education Site(s): 130 credits - 2023-24: Comprehensive High School Sites: 200 credits / Alternative Education Site(s): 130 credits
