Next Meeting Wednesday, September 13th

On Wednesday, August 30th, the High School Graduation Requirements Task Force held its second meeting, with the goal of diving deeper into what some of the problems may be with our current requirements. We hosted a panel of both task force members and members of the public representing students, education leaders, university leaders and workforce developers. Lively discussion ensued around some of the hurdles facing our students as they matriculate through and graduate from high school and venture into college and/or career.
