Superintendent's Message

graduation CapWe, the Mabton School District Board of Directors, desire that our students work to achieve high standards, and to that end we require that all Mabton District Graduation Requirements be met along with the State Standards (Policy No. 2410). It is our expectation therefore, that every student who has met all of these requirements will participate in the graduation ceremony and receive their High School Diploma.  Some students may believe that they have demonstrated their academic achievement in meeting the state standards although they may not have successfully passed one of the required WASL sections. IF a student can provide evidence that they have passed comparable standards, such as MAPs, ACT, SAT, COMPASS, ASSET or other measures of college readiness, the Board of Directors will allow the student to initiate an "appeal"  that they may be allowed to walk through the graduation ceremony with their peers.

However, students must fully comprehend that an appeal is not a guarantee that the Board of Directors agrees with them on their evidence. Further, if the Board of Directors does agree with the student's appeal and grants them the right to walk in the ceremony with their peers, the student must understand that because they have not yet met State Standards, they will not receive a high school diploma until such time when they do pass the minimum state requirements.

All student appeals must be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors or their designee, Superintendent Pasiero-Davis, beginning April 1 and ending no later than May 1, 2008. Appeals received before that closing date will be fully processed and responded to; in the order they are received.

It is our desire that every deserving student will walk at the graduation ceremony. We therefore agree to allow "student initiated" appeals to the Board under the above conditions

Signed by Board members Elsa Sanchez, Blanche Tobin, Rafael Sagrero, and David Rodriguez and Secretary to the Board Superintendent Sandra Pasiero-Davis
