Metuchen reports prior-year graduation outcomes to board: 173 graduates; no denials recorded
Summary
The district reported 173 students graduated in the prior year; 26 met requirements via substitute competency tests, 11 via portfolio appeals, none through alternate IEP requirements, and none were denied graduation, the superintendent said.
District officials presented required graduation reporting to the Metuchen Board of Education on Sept. 30, listing the prior year’s outcomes and how students met graduation requirements.
Dr. Caputo said the total number of graduates in the prior school year was 173. He reported that 26 unique students met graduation requirements through substitute competency tests in English language arts, math, or both; 11 met requirements through portfolio appeals; zero students met requirements through alternate IEP pathways; and zero students were denied graduation based on the listed measures.
The board asked no substantive questions during the presentation and the superintendent said minutes would record the data for the official record.
Why it matters: State and district rules require boards to report graduation outcomes and the means by which students achieved credentials; the data inform district accountability and supports for students who require alternate pathways.
The board reserved the data for the official minutes and moved on to committee reports.
