Summary:
|
The updated policy clarifies that passing high school equivalency tests does not fulfill all requirements for participating in graduation ceremonies. It removes the option for student-led prayer, aligning with court rulings deeming such practices potentially unconstitutional. Additionally, the policy incorporates AB 1248, allowing students to wear tribal regalia or recognized cultural or religious adornments with their cap and gown, provided they do not cause significant disruption.
