D’Evelyn’s Founding Document sets us apart from neighborhood district high schools in many ways, including graduation requirements. As new Jeffco rules come out, it is the Steering Committee’s role to evaluate them and see if they align with our Founding Document and governance policies and determine if they should be implemented at D’Evelyn. Recently, Jeffco changed their graduation requirements to allow the following high school graduation credits to be earned during junior high school:
D’Evelyn allows the following junior high credits to apply to high school graduation requirements:
While these may look like somewhat similar policies, the latter lines up with the requirements in the Founding Document, the former does not. For this reason, The Steering Committee unanimously voted to continue with our current graduation policy rather than adopt the District’s changes. D’Evelyn graduation requirements can be found in Policy CU-08 and CU-08-R . All D’Evelyn policies, as well as meeting minutes, can be found on the D’Evelyn policy website. If you have any graduation credit concerns, please contact your student’s counselor. Comments are closed.
