Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) As a matter of policy, the Board encourages school districts to schedule high school graduation as close as possible to the scheduled closing date of the high school to maximize the learning time offered to graduating seniors and minimize the disruption of instruction provided to other students.

(2) Notwithstanding the minimum school year requirements set forth in 603 CMR 27.03 and 27.04(2), at the discretion of the school committee, the scheduled school year for the graduating senior class of a high school or vocational/technical school may conclude, and the school graduation may be held, up to 12 school days before the regular scheduled closing date of that school.
