Gainesville may reduce graduation credit requirement

Gainesville school leaders continue to consider a policy change that would decrease the amount of credits high school students need to graduate. “A lot of students have a difficult time completing their course work in four years as it is,” said Delores Diaz, vice chairwoman of the school board. “So the thinking is to reduce the number to 23, which is the state requirement, to enable more students to graduate on time.”
