Task force completes most graduation votes; draft report due for review with dissenting views included
Committee members debriefed a task‑force meeting on graduation requirements, reporting that the group completed votes on nearly all proposals except one item raised by Sally Schwarz. Haley (staff) said a draft report that reflects final task‑force votes is circulating to members for review and that the group has requested comments back by Monday at 9:00 a.m.

The draft report will record task‑force votes on recommendations from AIE and several proposals put forward by task‑force members. Committee members said the report will include dissenting views and suggestions about implementation so readers can see key arguments that shaped each recommendation.

A student task‑force member confirmed they submitted a voting form that included an additional proposed change and said they will review the draft report and provide any further rationale to be added. Committee members urged that any substantive discussion points not reflected in the draft be sent to staff so they can be incorporated before the public release.

No final board action was taken during the meeting; the committee is preparing the report for the next stages of review and for presentation at the working session.
