On Wednesday, December 5, the Kentucky Board of Education approved changes to the proposed minimum high school graduation requirements, 704 KAR 3:305. The changes add “graduation prerequisites” and “graduation qualifiers,” to ensure students have basic competency in mathematics and reading as well as experiences intended to equip them for success in postsecondary education and the workforce. The changes will now go to the Kentucky General Assembly for review.
