Capistrano Unified’s trustees have set several new high school graduation requirements, but have not agreed on whether to raise standards in English, math and science.
Starting with next year’s freshman class, students will need to earn 230 credits to graduate, 10 more than now. Juniors will have to attend six classes daily instead of five.
The district is updating its graduation requirements to meet new state standards. Capistrano Unified’s guidelines were last changed in 1997, before the Stanford 9 standardized test was instituted statewide.
