The Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) Board of Education recently adopted revised graduation requirements that will go into effect starting with freshman (9th grade) students in the 2025-26 school year, the class of 2029, and each subsequent year. The new revisions increase the requirements in math and science.
Beginning with the class of 2029, students will need to earn a minimum of 240 credits to graduate, as compared to the current requirement of 220. This revision to the policy brings BVSD into alignment with many surrounding Colorado districts.
“While the majority of BVSD students already surpass the math and science graduation requirements, the revised policy will support all students in their preparation for any post-graduation opportunities,” shared Robbyn Fernandez, BVSD’s Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
The revised graduation requirements were approved at the December 10, 2024 board meeting. The policy can be found online at: IKF revised policy Graduation Requirements
