The Shawnee Public Schools Board voted unanimously on May 5 to allow seniors at Shawnee High School with documented extenuating circumstances to graduate with the Oklahoma state minimum of 46 credits instead of the district's 50-credit requirement. The motion was made by Turner Bass and seconded by Russ Oliver and carried 7-0.
