Board discusses adding community-service hours to graduation requirements
Summary
Superintendent presented a proposal to add community-service hours to district graduation requirements: 10 hours for the class of 2026 and 20 hours for 2027 and beyond, with staff support and documentation guidance for students who need help finding placements.
The board discussed changes to graduation requirements following state updates. The superintendent (S1) proposed adding a community-service requirement to the district graduation policy: 10 hours for students graduating in 2026 and 20 hours for students in the class of 2027 and later.
"That community service component, I want to add to the graduation requirements for 2026, it's 10 hours. And for 2027 seniors, it'll be 20 hours and beyond," the superintendent said, explaining students may earn the hours across their high-school careers and staff (Rondy and Randy) will coach juniors and seniors on acceptable activities and documentation. Board members asked for the item to return under the policy section for formal consideration at the October policy meeting.
