Should a student desire to graduate early, a procedure will be required prior to approval of accelerated graduation. To begin the process both the student and parent will meet with the student’s counselor. After this initial meeting, the request for accelerated graduation must be presented in writing by the student’s parents to the principal with approval from the student’s counselor. The student must be able to show that he/she can meet all NYS graduation requirements in the shortened time period.
** Students requesting early graduation must have approval of the principal, counselor and parents. (Refer to “Accelerated Graduation” xvii).
