The state mandates a minimum of 16.75 credits for graduation. The proposal, still in discussions by the Batavia School Board, would take effect this fall if approved. School officials earlier this month still sought feedback about the proposal. The Batavia School Board will discuss the requirements on Tuesday at its regular meeting.
