Summary

Superintendent Dr. Zuniga told trustees the district will pilot an evening summer-graduation ceremony (planned for Friday, July 17) for students who complete missing credits in summer school so they can receive diplomas and participate in a ceremony.

The district announced a pilot summer graduation to allow students who finish diploma requirements during summer school to participate in a ceremony. Superintendent Dr. Zuniga said the district plans a modest evening event (target date Friday, July 17) at Mountain View High School’s student center or cafetorium, with cap-and-gown photos and brief remarks; organizers expect a small cohort and will offer options for trustees to participate in‑person or via prerecorded messages.

Board members welcomed the proposal as a way to give students who completed make‑up coursework the ceremonial recognition their classmates receive in the spring. Staff will finalize logistics, notify eligible students and their families, and provide trustees the option to attend or record congratulations for students unable to attend.
