After the caps are thrown and the ceremony’s over and done this June, Newport-Mesa seniors just a few credits shy of graduation will still be able to graduate as long as they make it up this summer.
The Newport-Mesa Unified School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a temporary waiver this Tuesday that will allow seniors within 20 credits of completing their graduation requirements to graduate if they obtain those credits from adult education or summer remediation programs recognized by the district and present them for consideration before Sept. 30.
Those students won’t be able to walk at graduation, said Assistant Supt. Sara Jocham.
