Summary
The Monticello board approved revisions to Policy 613 (graduation requirements) to reflect the high school's trimester schedule, with a phased implementation over two years; vote was 6-0.
The Monticello Public School District board approved revisions to Policy 613, which sets graduation requirements, to align course-credit expectations with the high school's trimester schedule.
Director Daneker told the board the policy committee reviewed required annual policies and separately brought Policy 613 forward for revision to address changes tied to the district's second year operating a trimester model. The revisions adjust required course-credit calculations with a rolling implementation over the current and next two school years so the cohort in transition (current sophomores) moves to the revised credit structure.
Mary Bartel moved to accept the second reading of Policy 613; Jeff Hegley seconded. The motion carried 6-0. The board directed staff to continue implementing the changes, with additional yearly refinements while the district completes the transition to the trimester system.
