The Hastings Public Schools Board of Education on March 12 heard an initial proposal to raise the high‑school graduation credit requirement from 225 to 250 credits.
Director of Learning Kristen Slechta presented the proposal and said the board would consider the item again at the board meeting in May. High School Principal Jeff Linden and High School teacher Liz Vanderpool shared a presentation outlining the proposed increase and detail on how the change would affect credit calculations and course sequencing.
Superintendent Dr. Christopher Prososki described the proposal as introductory, with staff returning to the board with additional information before any formal action. Board members discussed the recommendation during the work session but took no vote.
The board is scheduled to revisit the proposal at its regular meeting in May, where members may vote on whether to adopt the new requirement.
