The State Board of Education’s Standards and Graduation Committee discussed Ohio’s graduation requirements during its December meeting. The committee, and ultimately the full board, passed a resolution to direct the Superintendent of Public Instruction to create a work group to review the graduation requirements and consider any alternative approaches as they relate to the class of 2018.
The workgroup held its first meeting on Jan. 18.
The superintendent will present a recommendation to the Standards and Graduation Committee by the April 2017 board meeting.
