Kansas Boards Gain Power Over Graduation Rules
Kansas local school boards gain authority to set graduation requirements under a new state Board of Education rule. The rule lets boards tailor coursework, requiring as few as one unit of American history and half a unit of government, with a 17 unit graduation total. Extension courses by community junior colleges may be offered outside districts, but an attorney general opinion may deem such courses illegal except in specific cases.
