🎓 Today the Healey-Driscoll Administration released the final report from the Governor’s Statewide K-12 Graduation Council. It outlines final recommendations and a proposed timeline for new statewide graduation requirements, which include:

✅ Completion of the MassCore program of study,
✅ End-of-course assessments,
✅ Post-secondary planning, with requirements in financial literacy, AI and digital literacy, and work-based learning, and
✅ Portfolio or capstone project.

🗨️ M.A.S.S. Executive Director Mary Bourque issued the following statement about the recommendations:

“M.A.S.S. commends the Healey-Driscoll Administration for ensuring that Massachusetts maintains high standards for earning a high school diploma. We believe the proposed set of graduation requirements will promote rigor and consistency across the Commonwealth and ultimately help prepare all students for success after high school. We also recognize that the new mandates will require school districts to make significant investments of time and resources, and we call upon our partners in state government to provide the funding, support, and flexibility needed for effective implementation.”
