2007 Graduation Requirements Meeting

Seventeen states attended the ADP Strategy Session on Graduation Requirements in Dallas, TX, on February 8-9, 2007. The goal of this meeting was to bring together ADP network states that had recently raised their graduation requirements to the college- and career-ready level or were seriously contemplating raising their requirements in the next year. It was structured to maximize the opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful dialogue about the practicalities and concerns associated with raising graduation requirements.
