Delay/Closure ProceduresLPS Hosting Graduation Requirements Information and Input Sessions
The LPS graduation requirements work group, composed of teachers, principals, counselors, and administrators, is studying possible changes to LPS graduation requirements beginning with the Class of 2029 (this year’s 8th graders). The work group is focusing on these five major outcomes:
Parent and employee input is critical to this process. The LPS learning services department is hosting a series of graduation requirements information and input sessions. LPS parents and employees are invited to attend one of four identical sessions regarding potential changes to graduation requirements.
Each session will kick off with a short presentation which will describe the current state of graduation requirements as well as the areas for potential change. Then, attendees will have an opportunity to visit with members of the graduation requirement work group to ask questions and provide input. Members will share input gathered from information and input sessions with the whole workgroup at an upcoming meeting.
The sessions are scheduled as follows:
