GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
It shall be the policy of the Board to acknowledge each student's
successful completion of the instructional program appropriate to the
achievement of district goals and objectives as well as personal proficiency by
the award of a diploma at fitting promotion ceremonies.
No student who has completed the requirements for promotion shall be
denied a diploma as a disciplinary measure, but s/he may be denied
participation in the ceremony of promotion when personal conduct so warrants.
Such exclusion shall be regarded as a school suspension, and shall be subject
to the same procedures and guarantees of due process as suspension.
Special Education Promotion Requirements
The Board will grant an educationally disabled pupil a district school
diploma when the student has met the requirements designated in his/her
individualized educational plan (IEP).
Educationally disabled pupils shall be provided the opportunity to
participate in the district promotion ceremony and related activities on a
nondiscriminating basis.
By June 30 of a disabled pupil's last year, the pupil's case manager,
parent/guardian and teacher(s) shall meet to review the instructional guide and
basic plan of the pupil's IEP in view of the transition to the secondary program.
Input from appropriate staff from the secondary school shall be part of the
review.
The basic plan of the IEP for the pupil exiting the elementary program will
address all the elements required in the administrative code.
