Class of 2025
Class of 2026, 2027, 2028 (students currently in high school)
Classes starting with 2029 (students currently not yet in high school)
The group discussed the variables and set the following action items:
Modify policy IKF to remove the MCAS graduation requirement and replace with new language based on
the competency determinations.
Modify the 2025-26 program of studies to reflect the changes.
Verify paths to graduation for class of 2025.
Hold a follow up meeting with the Assistant Superintendent of Student Services to address the class of
2025 students who had taken the alt MCAS test and prepare a path for graduation.
