BOSTON — The Healey-Driscoll administration announced it is inviting the public to help inform how high school graduation requirement recommendations will take shape and be put into practice before the final K-12 Statewide Graduation Council report is released in June. Students, parents and caregivers, educators, district leaders, businesses, and community members can complete a survey online by clicking here. The survey should take 10 to 12 minutes to complete.

“This is an important chance for students, families, educators, and partners across Massachusetts to share different perspectives before the Graduation Council’s final report is released later this year,” said Education Secretary Patrick Tutwiler, who co-chairs the Graduation Council. “The survey allows us to listen carefully, learn from diverse voices, and give everyone an opportunity to shape our final recommendations. I encourage everyone to fill it out, and look forward to engaging with more community members.”

Gov. Maura Healey, in collaboration with the council, released a statewide graduation framework in December that sets graduation standards to prepare all students for success after graduation. The framework consists of seven elements focused on helping students build a strong academic foundation, demonstrate mastery of course content, show their creativity, and develop real-world problem solving skills. It aims to be a balanced system that values academic rigor, practical skills, and personalized planning for all students so that they are set up for success no matter what path they choose to pursue after high school.
