Board approves graduation credit variance allowing student B.W. to graduate with state-required 20 credits
Summary
Roberts School District trustees unanimously approved a request allowing student B.W. to graduate with the state-required 20 credits rather than the district's 25, following a recommendation from Superintendent Dan Grabowska.
The Roberts School District No. 5 Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Feb. 17, 2026 to approve a credit-variance request allowing student B.W. to graduate with the 20 credits required by state law instead of the district's usual 25-credit requirement. Superintendent Dan Grabowska recommended the change as "an opportunity for a student to succeed," saying the student "has worked hard to get to this point."
The motion was made by Brad Norman, seconded by Michael Bissonnette and carried unanimously (YES—Dobbel, Norman, Bissonnette, Hill; NO—none). The board record does not specify course substitutions or remediation plans; the approval is recorded as an individual variance rather than a permanent change to district graduation policy. No additional conditions were stated in the meeting minutes.
