APS board to vote on changes to graduation requirements

Among the proposed changes is requiring students to take a personal financial literacy course before graduating.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education is scheduled to vote on proposed changes to high school graduation requirements.

If approved Wednesday, students will have to complete a personal financial literacy course for a half a credit. They would also have to take 1.5 more credits in electives.

Sponsors of the proposal say it will help better prepare students for the future.

The board meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m.
