Outreach and Advice Gathering From Interested Constituents

A policy adoption regarding Colorado high school graduation requirements was made by the state board of education in May 2013. Local district implementation will meet or exceed the policy requirements by the 2015-16 academic year for the on time graduation of the class of 2021.

  • Admission and Transfer Policy Review task force (Colorado Department of Higher Education)
  • Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB)
