Proposed Update to Administrative Policy 7.37 |

Background:
|
As part of 2017 Wisconsin Act 59, the minimum passing score on the civics test for high school graduation set forth by Wisconsin Statute Section 118.33(1m)(a)1 was increased from 60 to 65 out of 100. Current students who have not obtained a score of at least 65 are ineligible to receive a high school diploma. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has indicated that students who previously scored between 60 and 64 but had not yet received a diploma would be required to retake the civics test to obtain this new statutory minimum. MPS had one student that fell into that category. This student has since successfully retaken and passed the test.
The Administrative Policy 7.37 has been updated to reflect this change in the law. |
