Graduation Plans

Graduation Planning:

In accordance with Ohio law, each student, beginning in grade 9 and continuing on through high school graduation, is required to develop and maintain a graduation plan.

The graduation plan:

1. must be developed by the student and a representative of the district or school and updated each school year in which the student is enrolled in the district or school until the student qualifies for the high school diploma. The district or school must invite the student’s parent, guardian or custodian to assist in the development and updating of the graduation plan.

2. must address the student's academic pathway to meet the curriculum requirements specified by the district or school and satisfy graduation conditions.

3. documents the student’s progress and/or deficiency in meeting the terms of a graduation plan.

4. must be used as both a criterion and a procedure for identifying at-risk students in the district or school’s policy on identifying students at-risk of not qualifying for a high school diploma (outlined below).

5. supplements and enhances a school district’s policy on Career Advising.

6. may be a student’s individualized education program (IEP) in lieu of a separate graduation plan under the above criteria, if the individualized education program contains academic goals substantively similar to a graduation plan.
