District updates ninth-grade schedules, credit-recovery to support on-time graduation
Summary
District staff outlined schedule changes so incoming ninth graders earn eight credits per year and described expanded credit-recovery to address pandemic-era credit shortfalls and student mobility undermining four-year graduation rates.
Presenter, a school staff member, described instructional and scheduling changes aimed at ensuring incoming ninth graders can earn eight credits per year so students reach the 24-credit graduation requirement within three years of high school. "the current ninth graders will start earning eight credits every year ... the required for graduation is 24 credits," the presenter said.
The presenter said the measures, including credit recovery, are intended to reduce the number of students extending into fifth- and sixth-year cohorts because pandemic disruptions and transfers left many without required credits. Staff acknowledged that mobility—students transferring in and out—remains a complicating factor for on-time graduation.
