Board Of Education Presentation
The key discussion centered on Graduation Pathways, providing an update on the Essentials Graduation Pathway which was adopted in April 2022 to support students accessing state standards at a slower pace. The presentation detailed the three pathways to a diploma: Essentials Diploma, Alternate Diploma, and MPUSD Diploma, outlining the minimum unit requirements for core subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and PE/Health for the Essentials Pathway. It also outlined intended next steps for Family Engagement and Staff Engagement, including town hall meetings scheduled for January 2026, and concluded with acknowledgments for teacher leaders who supported the work.
